Jindal To Romney: ‘You’re Wrong’

Whoa. This guy is serious about 2016:

In a conference call with donors Wednesday, Romney said Obama won votes by offering enticing “gifts” to key Democratic voting groups like blacks, Hispanics, and the young.  Subsidized health care, cheaper student loans, free contraceptives — those were all things Romney said Obama gave those constituencies in order to win support at the polls.  “In each case, they were very generous in what they gave to those groups,” Romney told his donors.

Asked about Romney’s comments at a meeting of the Republican Governors Association at the Encore Hotel here in Las Vegas, Jindal did not hold back.  “That is absolutely wrong,” Jindal said.

“Two points on that.  One, we have got to stop dividing American voters.  We need to go after 100 percent of the votes, not 53 percent — we need to go after every single vote.  And second, we need to continue to show that our policies help every voter out there achieve the American dream, which is to be in the middle class, which is to be able to give their children the opportunity to get a great education, which is for their children to have even better-paying jobs than their parents.”

The rest of Jindal’s rebuke of Romney is here.
