In his first televised interview since the Washington Post broke the story about his unfortunately named family hunting camp over the weekend, Gov. Rick Perry (R-TX) sought to downplay the scandal.

“I think there were very much some strong inconsistencies and just misinformation in that story,” Perry told Fox News.

The GOP candidate stood by the story his camp put out this weekend that though the rock did indeed exist, his family painted over the offensive word in 1984, shorlty after they purchased the land.
