Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal (R) on Monday split with Republican Rudy Giuliani over the former New York City mayor’s remark that President Obama doesn’t love America.
“I think the mayor should have used different words to express what he wanted to say,” Jindal said at a press conference with other Republican governors outside the White House on Monday. “I did not want to throw [Giuliani] under the bus…The president loves America. He loves our country. There is no doubt about that.”
Jindal’s defense of Obama comes a few days after his office released a statement with the headline, “Gov. Jindal refuses to condemn Mayor Giuliani.”
In that statement, Jindal also said that Giuliani “should have chosen different phraseology for his remarks,” but he declined to say whether he shared the former New York City mayor’s views on Obama's love of the country.
“The level of the President’s love for our country is immaterial at this juncture,” Jindal said at the time. “What President Obama has obviously demonstrated for everyone is that he is incapable of successfully executing his duties as our Commander in Chief.”
“The gist of what Mayor Giuliani said — that the President has shown himself to be completely unable to speak the truth about the nature of the threats from these [Islamic State in Iraq and Syria] terrorists – is true," he continued in the statement. "If you are looking for someone to condemn the Mayor, look elsewhere."
we are seeing some republican marching in lock step and than backpedaling the party is partly becoming aware of how their old tactics are not holding water so much and they need to drop it. it doesn't serve them as well as they think because of the prior statements made with conviction and defiance and now it's the old "i was wrong but i'm not admitting it" do they think their base won'y get the flip flop? they are not sorry for saying it just sorry they got called on it either way it's disingenuous and deceitful. just in recent republican history he is very much more qualified than their last entry and wannabe's he fixed their mess and got Bin Laden they couldn't or didn't want to.
