When Rick Perry was asked if he agrees with his supporter Pastor Robert Jefress' opinion that Mormonism is a cult, Rick Perry responded by simply saying "No." He has not layed out his specific thoughts and opinions about Mormons, so about all we know is that he does not consider Mormonism to be a cult.
