Appearing on “Fox News Sunday,” Louisiana Republican Gov. Bobby Jindal continued his outspoken criticisms of Mitt Romney’s controversial remarks that President Obama won reelection by offering “gifts” to minorities and youth.

“I absolutely reject what he said,” he said. “We as a Republican Party have to campaign for every single vote. If we want people us we have to like them first. And you don’t start to like people by saying their votes were bought. We’re an aspirational party.”

“We need to make it very clear — we’re not the party trying to protect the rich. They can protect themselves.”
