Things I didn't know about Ross

#8. He hates John McCain
Perot, who worked with the Nixon administration to figure out ways to help POWs in Vietnam, hates the senator from Arizona and two-time presidential candidate. In January of 2008, just as the primaries were about to hit full stride, Perot made a well-timed call to Newsweek columnist Jonathan Alter, blasting McCain for both personal reasons (dumping his wife, Carol, for beer heiress Cindy; calling Perot “nuttier than a fruitcake”), and political (Perot believes McCain hushed up evidence that POWs were left alive in Vietnam).
Alter’s conversation with Perot also revealed that the former presidential candidate, like many others in the country, had been duped by email chains claiming that Barack Obama was a Muslim and had refused to recite the Pledge of Allegiance. At that time, Perot said he’d be voting for former Massachusetts governor and Mormon Mitt Romney in the Texas Republican primary, explaining, “When I went to the Naval Academy and met my first Mormons I asked why so many were excellent officers… I learned it was because of their strong family unit.”
