But it’s a different month now, and he’s no longer working for Rick Perry.

The Des Moines Register reported that Sam Clovis defended Perry for attacking Trump last month over his remarks criticizing Arizona Sen. John McCain on July 20, when Clovis was the head of Perry’s Iowa campaign team.

“Mr. Trump’s remarks were insulting to me as a veteran and as a person whose family sacrificed for 25 years as I ‘missed anniversaries, birthdays, holidays, Christmases and Easters,” Clovis wrote in an email. “[Trump’s] comments were offensive and people responded accordingly. I was offended by a man who sought and gained four student deferments to avoid the draft and who has never served this nation a day — not a day — in any fashion or way.”

Clovis, an evangelical conservative, joined Trump’s team on Monday, shortly after reports that Perry had stopped paying his staff members in Iowa.
