We will see if Perry has any balls now and puts the moron Paster in his place. <<<< Jon Huntsman: Pastor who called Mormonism a cult is 'a moron' [Video] Jon Huntsman gives an address on foreign policy at Southern New Hampshire University, October 10, 2011 in Manchester, N.H. (Matthew Cavanaugh / Getty Images. October 10, 2011, 2:24 p.m. Mitt Romney has been reluctant thus far to address controversial comments from a supporter of Rick Perry equating the Mormon religion with a cult. Jon Huntsman -- not so much. In an interview with CNN on Monday afternoon, the former Utah governor, who, like Romney, is a Mormon, called Pastor Robert Jeffress a "moron" (video below). "The fact that some moron can stand up and make a comment like that ... [is] outrageous," Huntsman told Wolf Blitzer on "The Situation Room." "Anyone who is associated with someone willing to make those comments ought to distance themselves in very bold language." Jeffress, a prominent Dallas pastor, endorsed Perry on Friday. Introducing him at the Values Voter Summit in Washington, Jeffress called the Texas governor "a true conservative" and "a genuine follower of Jesus Christ." Speaking with reporters afterward, Jeffress called the view that Mormonism is a cult a "mainstream view," and said Romney is "not a born-again follower of Christ." "I believe that in this contest, which I think is a contest between Perry and Romney, that we ought to prefer a born-again follower of Christ," Jeffress said.
