Everyone from Perry's former primary opponent Carly Fiorina to current Florida Gov. Rick Scott agreed the 66-year-old's performance was epic. Even those who didn't like the performance itself could appreciate the reason he's competing for the mirror ball trophy in the first place, which is to help raise awareness for veterans' issues.
I’ve never watched #DWTS before but will for the first time ever tonight because @GovernorPerry is competing.

You guys can hate on Rick Perry all you want, but he's having fun and raising awareness for vets issues. Give the man a break. #DWTS

Rick Perry on #DWTS is easily my favorite thing about this trippy, reality TV-driven political year.
