He was widely panned for it, but former Texas Gov. Rick Perry, who recently joined the crowded field of Republican presidential contenders, became the first – and so far, only – member of that group that has tied the recent Charleston, S.C., shootings to Big Pharma.
In an appearance on NewsmaxTV’s Steve Malzberg Show, Perry made the claim that the killing of nine African American worshippers by avowed white supremacist Dylann Roof was caused by mind-altering drugs.

In response to a question by Malzberg regarding whether he thought the shootings were an act of terrorism, Perry noted, “I don’t know, but I think the facts, once we get them – there were more people than that killed in Paris,” he said, a reference to the attacks by Islamic terrorists on the offices of satire magazine Charlie Hebdo. “This was a crime of hate – we know that.”
“The VA is handing out these opioids”
Perry continued: “It seems to me, again without having all the details about this, that these individuals have been medicated and there may be a real issue in this country from the standpoint of these drugs and how they’re used.”
He went on to point out that mood-and-mind-altering psychotropic drugs have been at the center of virtually all mass shootings in the U.S. since the Columbine school shootings in the late 1990s (see our report on this here).
Perry also noted that “the Veterans Administration, for instance, is handing out these opioids in massive amounts. And then people question: ‘Well, why can’t these young individuals get work?’ Or, ‘Why is the suicide rate so high?’” (We have also covered this issue; see one of our reports here).
