The group, arrested by federal agents on Tuesday, was led by James O’Keefe, who gained attention for his undercover filming work that damaged the credibility of the community action group ACORN. O’Keefe was with the men who posed as telephone repairmen to gain access to Landrieu’s office in the Hale Boggs federal building.
Jindal, who is not known to have a particularly close relationship with Landrieu, said the maneuver was “not acceptable” and said he trusted the federal law enforcement system to “punish those actions.”
“That office represents the United States senator who was elected by the people of Louisiana,” Jindal said. “I don’t care what your politics are … we need to respect the law.”
That condemnation is a contrast to the last time Jindal was called upon to speak up for Louisiana’s senior senator. When conservative voices Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck called Landrieu a “prostitute” after she provided a key procedural vote on the health insurance overhaul, Jindal was silent for several days and his eventual public comment did not mention Landrieu.
