Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal showed his support for 'Duck Dynasty' star Phil Robertson in an official statement released this morning.

"Phil Robertson and his family are great citizens of the State of Louisiana," Jindal said in a written statement, in response to Robertson being suspended from the hit A&E show. "The politically correct crowd is tolerant of all viewpoints, except those they disagree with. I don't agree with quite a bit of stuff I read in magazine interviews or see on TV.

“In fact, come to think of it, I find a good bit of it offensive. But I also acknowledge that this is a free country and everyone is entitled to express their views. In fact, I remember when TV networks believed in the First Amendment. It is a messed up situation when Miley Cyrus gets a laugh, and Phil Robertson gets suspended.”

Jindal perhaps put his support behind the West Monroe, La. native because his hit show and the family’s business, Duck Commander, makes the state lots of money and gives the state lots of exposure.

Sarah Palin, Geraldo Rivera and others have also supported Robertson.

Robertson was suspended from the show after news broke that the family patriarch made several negative comments about homosexuality in an article appearing in the January issue of GQ.

“Everything is blurred on what’s right and what’s wrong… Sin becomes fine,” Robertson says in part. “Start with homosexual behavior and just morph out from there. Bestiality, sleeping around with this woman and that woman and that woman and those men.”
