Texas Gov. Rick Perry’s campaign rejected a call Tuesday from Mitt Romney to “repudiate” the remarks of a pastor who described Romney’s Mormon faith as a “cult.”
The former Massachusetts governor made the demand during a news conference Tuesday afternoon in New Hampshire, where New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie endorsed Romney’s presidential candidacy.
Romney, speaking to reporters after the endorsement announcement, said a “religious test” should not be part of the political process. He put the onus on Perry to distance himself from Dallas-area pastor Robert Jeffress, who introduced Perry at a speech to conservatives in Washington Friday.
