Texas Gov. Rick Perry made a social-media blunder nearly the size of the Lone Star State on Sunday night when his Twitter account posted a viral image of a prosecutor who is mixed up in his recent indictment.
The potential presidential candidate’s Twitter account sent out a doctored photo of Travis County District Attorney Rosemary Lehmberg along with the caption: “I don’t always drive drunk at 3X the legal blood alcohol limit . . . But when I do, I indict Gov. Perry for calling me out about it.”
The image text ended by labeling Lehmberg “the most drunk Democrat in Texas.”
Perry was indicted for abuse of power for threatening to veto funding to a law-enforcement unit run by Lehmberg, who served jail time for a 2013 DWI rap.
The tweet was deleted about 20 minutes later and a new message was sent out claiming the first was “unauthorized.”
