Dancing With the Stars Announces New Cast, Includes Homophobic Republican Rick Perry

Dancing With the Stars Announces New Cast, Includes Homophobic Republican Rick Perry

Ryan Lochte and Amber Rose also join the politician on the dance floor.

Who wants to see Rick Perry dance? Don't answer that. The former governor of Texas and Republican presidential candidate is already slated to bust some moves (and maybe fall on his ass) on Season 23 of DWTS.

Need a Perry refresher? His 2012 ad "Strong" found him explaining how something is wrong with America if "gays can serve openly in the military." He also promised to end Obama's "war on religion."

That aside, disgraced Olympian Ryan Lochte will join the cast as well, in addition to Amber Rose and Vanilla Ice. Interesting choices to say the least...

Here's the full cast list:

Maksim Chmerkovskiy & Amber Rose

Valentin Chmerkovskiy & Laurie Hernandez

Artem Chigvintsev & Maureen McCormick

Sasha Farber & Terra Jole

Derek Hough & Marilu Henner

Witney Carson & Vanilla Ice

Lindsay Arnold & Calvin Johnson

Jenna Johnson & Jake T. Austin

Allison Holker & Babyface

Sharna Burgess & James Hinchcliffe

Emma Slater & Rick Perry

Cheryl Burke & Ryan Lochte

Gleb Savchenko & Jana Kramer

DWTS returns to ABC on September 12 at 8 p.m.
