Moderator Scott Pelley began asking Perry about his proposal to eliminate the Department of Energy — the subject of his infamous moment at this past week’s debate, when he was unable to remember it as the third part of a list.
Perry then said “You remembered it,” triggering laughter on stage and in the audience.
“I’ve had some time to think about it, sir,” Pelley replied, also sparking laughter.
“Me, too,” said Perry — triggering yet more laughter.
