We gave Rick Perry a Full Flop on the Flip-O-Meter for his shift on the Export-Import Bank (Getty Images/Scott Olson).
In 2014, then-Gov. Rick Perry urged Congress to keep afloat the federal Export-Import Bank.
In May 2015, former Gov. Perry, a Republican presidential prospect, said let the bank die.
On the PolitiFact Flip-O-Meter, his shift led us to give Perry a Full Flop rating.
We were helped in this judgment by Perry putting his position in writing both times. Read the full Flip-O-Meter story here.
Footnote: This is our second recent Flip-O-Meter finding per Perry. He earlier landed a Half Flip on supporting in-state tuition for immigrants living here without legal authorization.
