WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump told House Republicans Friday that he was urged by Energy Secretary Rick Perry to make the midsummer phone call to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy that is now at the center of House Democrats' impeachment inquiry, two sources familiar with the matter told NBC News.
"He continues to believe that there is significant need for improved regional energy security — which additional options for natural gas supply will provide — and this is exactly why he is heading to Lithuania tonight to meet with nearly two dozen European energy leaders on these issues.”
A case of Dumb and Dumber here I fear.
But he wasn't urged to bring up the Bidens. That's on him.
Trump couldn’t blame Betsy DeVos and everyone else has quit or been indicted
I thought Trump was against forced under the busing!
Falling on the knife for HIM? WTF....
Trump is gonna run out of people to throw under the bus.
Is that why Perry is leaving the cabinet?
What the hell? Why can't he just tell the truth?
What a sad joke.
It was clearly Ronald McDonald
There is no blame to be given.
So the public shaming and blaming others for his behavior begins..............
How far we have come from “the buck stops here.”
Wow under the Trainwreck not the bus
Blames all but himself
That's weird. Why would Rick Perry want that? Rachel Maddow where are you?
HouseGOP HouseDemocrats House Republicans just soldiers for Mafia Don
R.Perry. Seems you're LOW MAN on the totem pole. 😃.
Looks like it’s almost time to mosey back to TX.
This President will not take responsibility for anything. 🙄 He is such a cowardly child.
The more he digs, the worse it gets.
Why do so many Republicans protect this coward? Because that is what he is.
Here comes the bus and Douchdag Donald is the driver!!!
A true sign of a weak man. The Clown of Orange lives in an alternate reality. Where obese, ignorant, treasonous, immoral, liars are never wrong.
Poor Rick Perry... 👇
😂😂
Can't admit to when he does something wrong. Has to throw someone under the bus.
If true would be hilarious that one of Trumps “only the best people” would get him impeached lololololololol
Donald isn't a grown up man who takes responsibility of his doing.
Lol pathetic trump 😂😂😂

Sources have revealed that the MSM & Dems promised to do everything in their power to remove President Trump from office they have been working with foreign country for 3 yrs.
realDonaldTrump yet again blaming others for something he was too stupid not to do. Also, yet again republicans show just how much they don’t practice what they preach wren it comes to “personal responsibility”.
I wonder how many people this president is going to throw under the bus. Why do these fools pledge their loyalty to this guy? FEAR, plain and simple.
I wonder if SecretaryPerry has realized what a useful idiot he has been now that Individual 1 has thrown him under bus. Maybe he should consider speaking to the house intelligence committee about what really went down.
oops
Trump is a coward
The story seems to change every five minutes, but his base is too brainwashed to care.
He is ensnaring their sacred cows. Perry and Pence from the same dominionist quarter of the old GOP. He is letting it be known that if they vote to remove him he is not going down alone. Pelosi will be President-their worst fear realized. Trump is threatening them via the press.
WHEN HE IS PROVEN TO BE LYING AGAIN HE WILL SAY IVANKA TOLD HIM TO..SHE IS HIS TRUSTED ADVISER ..
He could have declined to do so! He also didn't have to ask for a quid pro quo,that's all on him !
Here comes the bus
using this same twisted 'logic', i guess if you're so easily manipulated by know nothing Rick Perry, god knows what you've done or agreed to on your secret calls with Putin
Good luck making that third-grade level excuse stick. How come you're not blaming Jared for all his stupid advice?
Trump blames every one but his self time to go Trump!!
But but but it was a perfect call. Now he has found a scapegoat and it’s bad.
Here comes the blame game.

Rick Perry made me do it!
I think that was a javelin that just exploded. RIPRickPerry
Is anyone so stupid to believe that: RP- Mr. President you should call Zelensky, you know the Ukrainian leader and tell him to give you dirt on the Bidens. DT- You love me Rick, Am I not the greatest, the most beautiful man that has walked on planet earth?
Perry replied, 'How do I dial out?'
This case is progressing just like it does with weak mobsters. When they begin to feel pinched, they start ratting each other out to save their own hide. Trump blaming Perry, Gulliani blaming the State Dept, Pence blaming his Assistants, etc....This is becoming a 10 ring circus.
Trump Plumbing the depths again.
So he's blaming Rick Perry?
Trump thought the glasses made Rick Perry smart... RickPerryMadeMeDoIt
Wrong again, NBCNews. More faked news.
Rick Perry...finally for the Win.
It can’t be Trump. It’s everybody else.
Even if Perry encouraged Trump to make the call, he didn't force Trump. Trump is backed into a corner with no way out and desperate. It must be getting crowded under the bus.
GOP better start lining up to get thrown under the trumptrain by realDonaldTrump
Let the throwing under the buses begin.
So trump is incapable of making his own decisions and relies on others to make decisions for him?
Smooth move
That's a joke... Right ?
Trump is passing the buck, as usual.
How's it look under that bus ricky
Perry, the whole world is waiting to hear from you either clear your name or suck up to a lying President .
So, Rick Perry is the first republican Trump will throw under the bus, but you know he won't be the last. Trump has no loyalty, no honor, and no desire to help anyone but himself, but republicans keep on believing he loves them and that he'll be faithful to their needs.
