Ben Carson once gently questioned Donald Trump's Christian faith, but on Friday Bobby Jindal went much further. The Louisiana governor explicitly and repeatedly ridiculed Trump's faith, effectively accusing him of faking his Christianity before an evangelical conference that had heard the GOP frontrunner speak only hours earlier. Jindal, who is lagging at 0.3 percent in the national polls for the Republican presidential nominee, came onto the stage at the Values Voter Summit in Washington holding a book. Jindal joked with the audience, saying that Trump -- who on Friday morning held up what he said was his childhood Bible before that same audience -- had left his Bible behind. The punchline: Jindal raised the book for the cameras. It was Trump's bestseller "The Art of the Deal." "[Trump] said that his favorite book was the Bible," Jindal said, later in the speech. "He couldn't name one verse." "Folks, he hasn't read the Bible. You know he hasn't read the Bible because his name's not in the Bible." Many in the audience of more than 1,000 evangelicals laughed and clapped. Jindal received even louder cheers when he described Trump as a "narcissist" who might appeal as an entertainer but would be dangerous as a leader. "We conservatives have a choice," Jindal said. "Are we going to turn to our conservative principles... or are we going to turn to a man who believes in nothing but himself."

His is not the first time. It is the reason Trump has brought the Bible his mother gave him and his confirmation picture to some of he faith based events
Who?
Wouldn’t he do better to question Obama’s “Christian Faith? “
I wasnt aware the the donnie ever claimed to be Christian?
I know that he claimed he was a Nice Guy...and didnt need to be forgiven
that doesnt give him a LOT of Christian CRED .... in my opinion.
Bobby doesnt expect to be the candidate....so he can say whatever NEED be said about MISTER WONDERFUL...
a worthy role it is
Well, this is one way to keep your name out there.
These are parting shots for Jindal. Likely he’s out of the race very soon.
I see the Anchor Baby has not dropped out of the race yet.
Why wait? Avoid the rush, Bobby.
Trump may not be a practicing Christian but he’s a 100,000 times the Christian Hillary is....
Go after the DEMs for gawd sakes. This does not endear gop voters to you
Who?
If it is possible to go lower than 0% Jindal just went there.
Jindal throwing a Hail Mary Pass.
How’s that rebuttal speech to Obama SOTU Jindal?
Always thought Jindal was very intelligent with maybe a future as a senator or something, but he’s using poor judgment with this and no doubt hurting himself with a fair number of admirers.
Poor Jindal. Can’t he just go quietly into that night?
Ya know...I used to have a bit of respect for this guy. Not anymore.
Jindal seems like a smart guy. He should be attacking Ditch or H-> or such....
Like Walker....he’s been ordered to get nasty on his way out the door. Creepy little man.
Jindal: "please listen to me...please, please, please!"...nobody listens.
Jindal--desperate for attention--says "Trump"...people don't listen, but the media says "what?" "He said Trump. Get that on film...that goes on the evening news."
