In preparation for a town hall-style event in Iowa, Bobby Jindal‘s campaign SuperPAC asked his Twitter followers to submit the questions they would like him to answer on Tuesday. What the Louisiana governor might not have expected was that the hashtag #AskBobby might be put to a different use than originally expected.
The idea was reportedly conceived by Jindal’s social media team as for the 2016 candidate to engage with potential voters. The team might not have known that 2016 rival Mike Huckabee held a Q&A on Facebook the previous week, only to find his responses filled with joke questions from Internet trolls.
Within hours, #AskBobby was receiving thousands of responses, but most likely not of the sort that the social media team was looking for.

The good news is that if it doesn’t, Jindal’s previous experience has America covered.

A question for many.
#AskBobby when you say you don't support immigrants do you include your parents ?

According to previous statements, Jindal’s parents are okay because apparently they never tried to “undermine American freedoms”.
Are you transracial? Nice tan, by the way. #AskBobby

Which spice girl is your favorite and if you had a chance, what laws would you pass to oppress them for having a uterus? #AskBobby
— Zora Neale Thirstin (@CarefreeBlkGirl) June 30, 2015
Scary Spice might be the expected answer, but Jindal might go with the crowd and agree that Posh is tried and true.

.@BobbyJindal Who on your team thought a Twitter Q&A wouldn’t open your awful ideas to mockery, and when will you fire them? #AskBobby

Again, that is just such a poignant question.
