Rick Perry is asked by Dartmouth student: Would you have anal sex for $102M?

Texas Gov. Rick Perry — in New Hampshire to visit Dartmouth College and speak about border security, energy and foreign policy — was blindsided by a handful of sexually-explicit questions from the student audience, including one that asked if he’d engage in anal sex if the price were right.

The Dartmouth, the college newspaper, reported that Emily Sellers, Class of 2015, asked Mr. Perry during the open forum segment of his presentation if he would have anal sex in exchange for $102 million worth of campaign dollars.

Another student criticized Mr. Perry for comparing homosexuality to alcoholism, the newspaper said.

Mediaite reported that other questions related to anal sex and homosexual behaviors were even more graphic.

Not all in the audience found such questions appropriate.

“I was really excited to see him come out to Dartmouth and speak with the students, and I think he was able to cater towards the entire audience, not only the College Republicans,” said Abraham Herrera, Class of 2018, adding that he found some of the student questions to be offensive, The Dartmouth reported.

Another student, College Republicans President Michelle Knesbach, Class of 2017, said she was shocked by the queries.

“They were phrased in incredibly insulting ways, and I’m horrified,” she said, The Dartmouth reported. “We allow people to ask policy-driven questions, but when they’re phrased in an insulting manner, we try to avoid that because it just detracts from the overall political discourse we can have on campus.”

College Democrats President Spencer Blair, Class of 2017, agreed.

“I think it’s really disappointing that anyone would undermine a serious political event with sexually explicit questions, and neither I nor anyone from College Democrats would ever condone such behavior,” he said, The Dartmouth reported. “We appreciate Governor Perry visiting campus, as we encourage any sort of political engagement and discourse here at Dartmouth.”
