1:52Now Playing"Gov. Rick Perry was indicted on two felony county for abuse of official capacity and coercion of a public servant late Friday by a Travis County grand jury.
The case stems from Perry’s vetoing the $7.5 million biennial funding for the Travis County Public Integrity Unit last year. He threatened to withhold the money unless District Attorney Rosemary Lehmberg resigned.
Perry made it clear in public and through emissaries that he didn’t believe the state should fund an office headed by someone who had lost the public’s trust. He pointed to Lehmberg’s April 2013 arrest for drunk driving, which included her video-taped, belligerent conduct while being booked into the jail.“* Cenk Uygur, Ben Mankiewicz (Turner Classic Movies), John Iadarola (TYT University) and Jimmy Dore (The Jimmy Dore Show) break it down.
