Responding to President Obama’s use of the Texas wildfires in a fundraising speech Sunday night in order to criticize Gov. Rick Perry’s beliefs on climate change, a campaign spokesman hit back at the president on Monday morning.

“It’s outrageous President Obama would use the burning of 1,500 homes, the worst fires in state history, as a political attack,” Perry spokesman Ray Sullivan emailed Politico. “This from a president whose nation is financially suffering and his solution is taking more money away from families by raising taxes on families and small businesses.”
