Jindal portrait doesn’t quite look like him
A photo of a portrait of Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal has set off a discussion on Twitter about whether the painting looks like the 2016 presidential hopeful.
The portrait was donated by a constituent of Jindal’s, according to his chief of staff, and is not the governor’s official portrait.
Here’s a photo of the unofficial portrait. It was tweeted by Louisiana political blogger Lamar White, who incorrectly described it as his official portrait:

The Independent Media Group, which took the photo, said it was from 2011.
@CenLamar Pic shot in June 2011 in the 4th floor lobby. Portrait is right behind receptionist’s desk. It is unretouched!
