And then we have the other memorable Rick Perry moment from last night’s debate, when he boasted that he’s “never struggled” with the fact that he holds the record for the most executions presided over by any modern governor: 234.

This provoked enthusiastic cheers from the conservative audience, which is unfortunately not surprising.

While Rick Perry has been governor, at least 41 people convicted of crimes have been exonerated by DNA evidence, but he sleeps the sleep of the just.
