Alex Pappas of the Daily Caller reports Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal’s response to the latest batch of goofy questions reporters are aiming at Republican presidential candidates.
Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal is chiding the media for “absurd hypothetical” questions to Republican presidential candidates about whether they could ever support a Muslim for president.
“This is a dumb game that the press is playing,” Jindal said in a Monday statement distributed to reporters. “It is an absurd hypothetical question.”
Saying he will “indulge the media for a moment and play their gotcha game,” Jindal went on to say: “If you can find me a Muslim candidate who is a Republican, who will fight hard to protect religious liberty, who will respect the Judeo-Christian heritage of America, who will be committed to destroying ISIS and radical Islam, who will condemn cultures that treat women as second class citizens and who will place their hand on the Bible and swear to uphold the Constitution, then yes, I will be happy to consider voting for him or her.”
“If you can’t,” Jindal said, “I’ll settle for voting for a Christian governor from Louisiana.”
