Political Thinking with Nick Robinson - Trump's America: The Scott Perry One

Download Trump's America: The Scott Perry One

A Republican Congressman outlines the values that lie behind his conservative politics.

Scott Perry is the Representative for Pennsylvania's 10th District, a Trump ally, an Iran hawk who sits on the Foreign Affairs Committee, and a veteran, who flew combat missions in Iraq before turning his attention to politics.

He joins Nick down the line from Washington DC, in the aftermath of his President's decision to drop bombs on Iran.

Perry tells the story of how he went from growing up in a household with no electricity or running water, to being elected to the "most important deliberative body on the planet".
