James did, in actual fact, select Perry over Ryan. Whether one agrees with that choice or not is an opinion, which can be debated. The fact that it happened is not an opinion, and is not debatable. Pretending James did not select Perry over Ryan is just blatantly lying.
One can admit the actual demonstrable fact, that James did in actual fact select Perry over Ryan, without arguing that this choice is one they agree with. One can reasonably argue for Ryan, it does not require lying about the record. Over the top claims quickly proven to be factually false never help an argument.
