Gov. Bobby Jindal today issued a statement criticizing the television network A&E over its decision to suspend "Duck Dynasty" star Phil Robertson for controversial comments he made about gay people and African Americans.
"I remember when TV networks believed in the First Amendment. It is a messed up situation when Miley Cyrus gets a laugh, and Phil Robertson gets suspended," said Jindal in a prepared statement sent through email and Twitter this morning.
The Governor also described Robertson and his family members, who all appear on the reality television show together, as "great citizens of the State of Louisiana."
"The politically correct crowd is tolerant of all viewpoints, except those they disagree with. I don't agree with quite a bit of stuff I read in magazine interviews or see on TV. In fact, come to think of it, I find a good bit of it offensive. But I also acknowledge that this is a free country and everyone is entitled to express their views," said Jindal.
