BOBBY JINDAL PUNCHES BACK TWICE AS HARD: Jindal to screen Planned Parenthood videos outside mansion.
Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal will try to counter a pro-Planned Parenthood rally scheduled to take place outside his mansion on Thursday by running a loop of the secretly recorded videos that they plan to protest.
Jindal announced Thursday that he is setting up an outdoor movie screen and speakers outside the governor’s mansion to show the controversial videos, which he said too many of Planned Parenthood’s supporters have refused to watch.
The showing will take place at the exact time of a scheduled protest by Planned Parenthood supporters.
“Planned Parenthood has a right to protest today, but Governor Jindal’s office will ensure that anyone who shows up will have to witness first-hand the offensive actions of the organization they are supporting,” Jindal, who is also a Republican presidential candidate, wrote in a statement.
“We hope the protesters will take a minute to watch them so they’ll have an opportunity to see first-hand our concerns with Planned Parenthood’s practices,” he added.
Planned Parenthood dismissed Jindal’s move as a political “stunt.”
Yeah, and a better one than a tired protest march.
