Louisiana Governor and Republican presidential candidate Bobby Jindal argued that fellow candidate Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) 96% ’s comments that the Iran deal “will make the Obama administration the world’s leading financier of radical Islamic terrorism” were not “helpful” and that “those of us that have been opposed to this deal have been the voice of reason. I don’t think we should give up that position” on Thursday’s broadcast of CNN’s “New Day.”
Jindal was asked about Cruz’s statement He stated that he’s opposed to the deal, but “I wouldn’t have said those words. I don’t agree with those sentiments. Look, I think that those of us that have been opposed to this deal have been the voice of reason. I don’t think we should give up that position. At the end of the day, the terrorists, or the radical Islamic groups and individuals out there, and the state sponsors of those terrorists have been Iran, and some of these other countries that have sponsored some of these groups. I wouldn’t have used that rhetoric. Again, I oppose the deal, but I don’t think that rhetoric’s helpful.”
Jindal was then asked about the rhetoric in the GOP primary in general, specifically Donald Trump’s comments about illegal immigrants, and Mike Huckabee and Ted Cruz’s remarks about the Iran deal, he responded, “I know there a lot of candidates that are going to say whatever they have to say to be as outlandish as possible. Maybe they think it’ll help them get in that debate stage or move in the polls.”

I like Gov. Jindal, but no need to undercut Ted Cruz here- Cruz is making the right argument
I agree. That is one big check mark against Jindal.
Sorry Bobby....time for complete honesty.
Strike!
Boo Jindal! Bad call guy, bad call.
Jindal is bringing a plastic butter knife to a tank fight.
Does Jindal think that this deal will NOT make Obama the leading global funder of international terrorism? It seems pretty clear that it will do precisely that, and I am grateful to Ted Cruz for pointing this out in such stark language.
Trying to make the enemy like him.
Disgusting.
JIndal is a talking rabbit. You should have seen him during hurrican Gustav, he was on TV constantly spouting data like a ticker tape. Even the State Police just watched him with their arms folded like....go ahead....do my job for me....
He is an idjit.
Where is the reasoning with the sociopath obama?
I’m tired of Republicans wanting to be “above the fray”. The Democrats are always saying incendiary things but do you ever see them apologize if they made a controversial statement, or chastize another Dem if they said one? No. Cruz is right to call the lefties out. We need to stop reasoning with these idiots and go right at them.
WTF? Is Jindal a Rove tool too?
Bye, Piyush.
If the truth offends so be it.
Jindal can’t handle the truth.
Jindal, you’ve just got moved over to the “You suck” list.
So funding terrorism is ok, but speaking against it is what’s really bad?
I liked Jindal right till he started sounding like all the rest of the establishment pukes.Trump and Cruz for me.The rest are just background noise.
Time for the gov to quit the race, go back to LA, and have a soothing bowl of gumbo. Take the rest of the never-been’s with you and leave the race to the few real conservatives.
Buh Bye Jindal. We knew ye well.
“You should have seen him during hurrican Gustav”
He lost me when he didn’t do anything about the union thugs that beat up his aides in New Orleans.
