It’s not his official portrait, but people have a lot to say about it.

2. Here is a portrait of Governor Jindal that has hung in the lobby of his office since 2008.
3. The painting is not an official portrait but was instead painted by a constituent.
4. Mistakenly believing this to be his official portrait, people on Twitter had a lot to say.
@CenLamar @Peacepox @theInd This portrait has been “white” washed! What happened to his proud Indian heritage?

@DianneG @LoganJames @TheInd Painting done by the guys who did the casting for Exodus.
