The host of an event where Rick Perry made a somewhat uncharacteristic speech over the weekend claims the Republican presidential contender wasn’t drunk. Some had suspected Perry to be under the influence during the speech.

The Hill reports:

“I can tell you unequivocally he wasn’t drinking at the event and he hadn’t been drinking prior to the event,” said Kevin Smith, the executive director of Cornerstone Action, the conservative group that hosted the event over the weekend. “I was sitting with him, and I found him to be very engaging with all of the people he was talking with, he was very articulate.”
