Energy Secretary Rick Perry was chosen to be the designated survivor during President Trump’s State of the Union address Tuesday night.
Perry will not attend the address in the Capitol and will succeed Trump if the President and other top government leaders are killed in an attack.
Trump had a short list to choose from Tuesday night, as several cabinet roles are currently filled by acting secretaries who are not eligible to be named the designated survivor.
President Rick Perry: A fate worse than death.
That is some serious insurance…
Kiefer Sutherland, with no governmental experience, would have been a better choice.
Katy Perry would have been the more intellectual choice…
Rick would actually be an improvement over tramp and Dense, but what a low bar!!!
