I guess that's what he is inferring - maybe he was off his meds again.

He was speaking with Chuck Todd, talking about his recent trip to Africa. His exact quote was "But also from the standpoint of sexual assault,” Perry said. “When the lights are on, when you have light that shines, the righteousness, if you will on those types of acts."

His department's PR folks tried to clarify the statement later thankfully.

The Department of Energy says Perry’s statement was meant to highlight the way electricity will improve the lives of people in Africa.

“The secretary was making the important point that while many Americans take electricity for granted there are people in other countries who are impacted by their lack of electricity,” Shaylyn Hynes, an agency spokeswoman said.

In Africa for an energy conference last week, “one person told him about how light can be a deterrent to sexual assault and security in remote areas,” Hynes said. “Another leader told him about how women in their country have to go to the store every day for a new carton of milk because they don't have a working refrigerator. Those powerful stories stuck with him and that is what he was sharing with the crowd in Washington today.”

I think it would have been more effective for him to say to Todd that there are three reasons fossil fuels will benefit Africa. One it provides fresh milk, two it helps people read and the third is Ummm - I forgot - Ron can you help me out with the third?'

I wonder if the lights were on when the FBI sexually assaulted Manafort's wife?
