Willie Robertson, star of the reality show “Duck Dynasty,” said during an interview on the Fox News show “Fox & Friends” on Friday that he loves the way Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has been campaigning.
Robertson, the chief executive of Duck Commander, a sports hunting business, likened the 2016 presidential race to the “wild, wild west.”
“When (Trump) dropped the cell phone number, that was the best thing I had seen,” Roberston said.
Trump has made colorful comments so far in his campaign about immigrants and fellow Republican lawmakers. And in the midst of a war of words, Trump gave out Sen. Lindsey Graham’s (R-SC) cell phone number.
But it’s Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal (R) who has Robertson’s vote so far, he told Fox.
“Great guy, Christian man, just a smart guy,” Roberston said on the program. “I like what he stands for, where he’s at. I’ll be with him.”
Jindal paused his campaign after a gunman killed two people and injured others before killing himself on Thursday night at a movie theater in Louisiana.
Robertson, who is from Louisiana and was on the show to promote his new book, “American Hunter,” offered his sympathies to the shooting victims.
“My heart goes out to the city and state as we mourn those shot,” Roberston said.

OK, following Trump is a waste of political analysis. We all know he simply cannot get elected, but it is tremendous fun. So I allow TPM all the space it wants on that.
But to report a wingnut’s reaction to Trump is a click too far.
Yep. One crazy commenting on another.
Isn’t “Duck” off the air now? Why are they still sporting that fake look? – Selling books requires you look like that? Dude, you are totally fake. Real rednecks–and I know more than a few personally–do not use teeth whitening strips.
Meaningless attention-whore loves meaningless attention-whore. Hey GOP–this is YOUR political party.
Darn the luck! Poor Bobby! Pausing the campaign just before this potential skyrocket into the national news unicycle. It’s like he’s cursed…
