‘COME AND GET ME’: Somerville Mayor Joseph A. Curtatone, above, invited Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal to come to Massachusetts yesterday and debate the issue of sanctuary cities.

Jindal: Somerville mayor should be ‘criminally liable’

Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal said mayors of so-called sanctuary cities should be held “criminally liable as accessories” for crimes committed by illegal immigrants on their watch — remarks that touched off a daylong war of words with the mayor of a sanctuary city in the Bay State.

“Come and get me,” Somerville Mayor Joseph A. Curtatone said.

“Open invitation to @BobbyJindal to come up here and debate the issue,” Curtatone later tweeted. “But need to check bylaws on dishing out a public spanking.”

Curtatone, a Democrat, lashed out at the GOP presidential hopeful’s proposal that would put mayors, city councilors and other officials potentially on the hook both criminally and civilly. The two began their debate during separate interviews on Boston Herald Radio yesterday.

Jindal is not going to be on the main debate stage and needs some attention

Seems like he did one way back when. Apparently he should have done one on himself.
