Republican presidential candidate Bobby Jindal is not a fan of Democrat Hillary Clinton or any other candidate from across the aisle running for president.
Jindal spoke to a full room at the Machine Shed in Urbandale on Wednesday morning, and began his talk with “breaking news” about Clinton.
“I’m going to start with some news of the day,” said Jindal. “Hillary Clinton, her email practice is now being investigated by the FBI. It has now come out that some of our nation’s top secrets may have been on that server system.”
The Louisiana governor then went on to outline his views on each candidate running for the Democratic nomination.
“The real soap opera is not on the Republican side, it’s on the Democratic side,” said Jindal. “Their front runner is one email away from having to go to prison. I know Martha Stewart is her good friend and has been advising her on redecorating but she may want to start advising her about how to survive in prison instead. Orange really is the new black.”
Bernie Sanders and Martin O’Malley were also included in Jindal’s opening remarks about the left.
“Their second place candidate is a self-described socialist, I’m not making this up,” said Jindal. “Their third place candidate had to apologize for saying that all lives matter, and has blamed the creation of ISIS on global warming. And their fourth place candidate wants to put America in the metric system, and I haven’t even gotten to Joe Biden yet.”
After laying out his views to “get America back on track,” Jindal then took questions from the group, one being on his gun control stance.
“What I supported in Louisiana, just to be clear was, we passed a law to make sure that the mental health records are being properly entered into the national background system,” said Jindal. “The law was already there that if you have been involuntarily committed to a mental health hospital, you shouldn’t be able to go and buy a gun from a dealer.”
Jindal used the recent shooting at a theater in his home state as a reason to use background checks and ensure those with mental issues do not get a hold of a gun.
“The shooter in that case, I believe, should have been involuntarily committed to a mental health hospital and should have not been able to buy a gun,” said Jindal. “But at the end of the day, I am a very strong supporter of the 2nd Amendment.”
Jindal wrapped up his five-day swing through Iowa with the stop in Urbandale. He will be back in the metro next weekend to speak at the Iowa State Fair.
