Jindal Slams GOP-Led Congress for Waving ‘White Flag of Surrender’ on Amnesty

‘Republicans in Congress are setting ourselves up for defeat again’

INGRAHAM: “You don’t think Jeb is going to make big changes?”

JINDAL: “Here’s my concern and skepticism about just getting any Republican in there. Look at what happened when we took the Senate back. I remember these great, soaring campaign promises last year, it wasn’t that long ago. ‘Give us the Senate and we’ll repeal Obamacare. Give us the Senate we’ll stop illegal amnesty. Give us the Senate, we’ll reduce government spending and balance the budget.’ You know, give us the Senate, look what’s happened: White flag of surrender on amnesty. They passed a toothless bill on this Iran bill -- actually makes it worse not better in terms of Congressional oversight. They have not done -- When you look at Obamacare, they’ve not even passed, they’ve not even shown the American people how they would repeal and replace it, and I’m worried. I think the Supreme Court’s going to rule the way that it should. That these states -- there should not be mandates on these states that have a federal exchange, but what I worry about is Republicans in Congress are setting ourselves up for defeat again going out there again with a plan to repeal Obamacare and replace it, and they’re going to put themselves in a corner. That’s why you already hear Republicans saying ‘well, maybe we need to put a band-aid or a patch on it.’”
