Also, reports of Turkish proxies using white phosphorous to attack Kurds.
Unspeakable cruelty.

“I’ve known Rudy since 2008. I endorsed him for President in 2008,” he said on Fox News. “I worked with him. I trusted him.”
Great judge of character.
When asked if he thought it was strange when President Donald Trump instructed him to talk to Giuliani about a potential meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, Perry shrugged.
“As a governor of Texas, I used people outside of government all the time to give me information,” he said. "I didn’t see a problem with that at all.”
Corrupt as Governor. Has no problem with corruption in presidential administration he’s part of.
He also said that he “never heard the Biden name” and that the quid pro quo spelled out in the whistleblower complaint and call memo released by the White House was actually nonexistent.
Unaware of what’s going on around him and very poor comprehension skills.

After years dealing with the Texas GOP, Guiliani seemed pretty rational.

Perry answered with a resounding “no” when asked if he witnessed evidence of a crime connected to Ukraine during his time in the administration.
I’m going to wander out on that proverbial limb and suggest that Perry is not conversant with the entire US Code so his denial is, shall we say, less than well informed or fact based. His statement is based on either the GOP historical precedent of “Well, when the president does it, that means that it is not illegal,” or advice and assurance from Giuliani.
ETA: Or what @benthere said.

But I happen to know people in the energy industry who are smarter than the State Department folks. I didn’t see a problem with that at all.

Trump - yesterday afternoon at Dallas airport:
“I want to thank everybody. And the other thing I want to thank as a group, I want to thank the Kurds, because they were incredibly happy with this solution. This is a solution that really – well it saved their lives, frankly. It saved their lives,” the president said. “Great day for the Kurds. It’s really a great day for civilization,” the president said.

Erdogan was insulted by Trump. Kurds bear the consequences of Trump’s deranged decision.

Trump said that everybody was happy. Well, that was extreme hyperbole. The EU ain’t happy.

And the inimitable Lindsey Graham:
“I appreciate Vice President Pence, Secretary Pompeo, National Security Advisor O’Brien, and Ambassador Jeffrey’s hard work to try to achieve a cease-fire and to create sustainable solutions caused by Turkey’s invasion of Syria.
“Sounds like we may have made real progress regarding a cease-fire and hopefully sustainable solutions to prevent the reemergence of ISIS, the abandonment of our ally, the Kurds, and other strategic interests of the United States, like the containment of Iran.
“I stand ready to continue working with the President to build upon this breakthrough."
