Republican Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal weighed in on the ongoing vaccine debate, telling Megyn Kelly on “The Kelly File” Wednesday that the media were hypocrites for only focusing on right-wing vaccine opponents, and that it was the left who “denies science.” (VIDEO: Jon Stewart Mocks Vaccine Opponents… Despite Once Embracing Them)
JINDAL: Megyn, you’ve got President Obama and Hillary Clinton, they’ve said nuanced and different things about vaccines. They’ve flip-flopped, they’ve changed their minds. You’ve got Democrats and Republicans who have said various things about vaccines. Today, this is just common sense.
It’s no surprise to me that the liberal media would be hypocritical, they’d attack Republicans, not Democrats who said similar things, including our current president and Secretary Clinton, who wants to be president. It’s not surprising to me the left denies science, it denies truth. They’ve done it when it comes to the environment, when it comes to energy.
KELLY: Well, they say the right is doing it on climate change.
JINDAL: Well, they deny math when it comes to the debt and taxes. But look, on energy and the environment, it is the left denying the science and the truth. But the bottom line here is, this shouldn’t be controversial. This is pretty straightforward. Vaccines have been proven to be safe.
