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.
