Quote: Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal (R), a longtime ally and friend of Perry’s, weighed in with a similarly strong statement. He sent out multiple tweets, including one that said, “Governor Perry exercised his constitutional authority and this circus is simply a political witch hunt.” That view was widespread among Republicans. But questions about the indictment went beyond Republicans. David Axelrod, the chief strategist for President Obama’s two election victories and a former senior adviser in the White House, tweeted, “Unless he was demonstrably trying to scrap the ethics unit for other than his stated reason, Perry indictment seems pretty sketchy.”
