In Monday night’s Fox News debate, Rick Perry responded to a question about Turkey by saying that it’s “a country that is being ruled by what many would perceive to be Islamic terrorists.” In Turkey Tuesday morning, the media is not pleased with this comment. From CNN:
“The debate that the Republican candidate Rick Perry attended on American Fox TV turned into a scandal that contained very ugly statements about Turkey,” announced TRT state television.
“Rick Perry: what an idiot,” tweeted Mustafa Akyol, a columnist with the English-language Hurriyet Daily news.
