Meet Sam Clovis, he's the full nut roast, with gravy.
Donald Trump’s New Campaign Co-Chair Makes Donald Trump Look Levelheaded
As recently as Monday, Clovis was former Texas Gov. Rick Perry’s (R) Iowa campaign chairman — Clovis left because Perry no longer had the money to pay him. Nevertheless, the Perry campaign was a logical choice for Clovis, given the college-professor-turned-politico’s unusual views about the Constitution. Among other things, Perry has said that Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid are unconstitutional.
Indeed, if anything, Clovis may be to Perry’s right. During his unsuccessful Senate race, Clovis told radio host Jan Mickelson that “there’s nothing in Article I, Section 8 [of the Constitution] that authorizes subsidies of any kind.” He also agreed with Mickelson that three particular types of federal spending — “crop insurance,” “foreign aid” and “funding education” — are all unconstitutional.
