Bobby Jindal to Westboro Baptist Church activists "They better not try that nonsense here" [View all]

July 26, 2015


On Face the Nation today, host John Dickerson asked Louisiana Gov. Piyush "Bobby" Jindal about the possibility of the Westboro Baptist Church disrupting funeral services tomorrow for victims of the mass shooting last Thursday at the Lafayette, Louisiana theater.

DICKERSON:
"Let me ask you a last question about that funeral service tomorrow.
The Westboro Baptist Church, which has disrupted other funerals in the past, is threatening to do so again.
What can you do to keep them away?"

JINDAL:
"If they come to Louisiana, they try to disrupt this funeral, we're going to lock them up.
We're going to arrest them...They shouldn't try that in Louisiana...We won't abide by that here.....Let these families grieve.....Let them celebrate their daughters, their children, their spouses, their loved ones' lives in peace....They better not try that nonsense here."
