Scoring cheap political points is always distasteful, but it is especially offensive when lives are in danger
The United States has now become the world leader in a rather unfortunate category with the largest number of coronavirus victims. This is due to the vast expansion of tests that have been made available in the United States. In contrast, the reports out of China cannot be trusted.
As of Saturday March 28, there were 121,117 confirmed cases and 2,010 deaths associated with the coronavirus in the United States. The area with the fifth highest total of deaths in the country is New Orleans, which leads the nation in fatalities per capita.
This was the one telling people to enjoy Mardi Gras.
Well...
Trump wants to make sure when he transitions to opening up the country again that he publicly announce the final decision whether to open hot spots which are primarily Democrat and urban will be solely up the to governors and mayors of those hot spots to avoid the MSM and the Dems engineering the narrative that they are salivating to narrate that he is responsible for killing thousands for lifting the quarantine too early for the sake of the economy.
I wonder if those bodies have been removed from that broken hotel building yet?
If not by workers, then by wildlife, right?
Mardi Gras should have been cancelled.
This is the same Mayor that wants to shut down gun stores and continue to allow abortion clinics open.
Yep, we should be fighting the virus alright.
Democrat cities will be hit harder because democrats live in those cities.
No they have not been.
It’s disgraceful.
Building inspectors for the city were nowhere near the property in the months before the collapse when they claimed to have inspected the building. They filled out office documents claiming dates/times of inspection but their vehicle GPS proved the were elsewhere.
Not making this up, sadly. Life in the Democratic Paradise of NOLA.
Don’t know how to post articles but you can search the story.
“Democrat cities will be hit harder because democrats live in those cities.”
I agree. They will. And that is precisely why Trump should shift the decision there to Cuomo and DiBlasio in NYC and Garcetti and Newsome in Cal, etc. It then becomes a Democrat decision in the belly of the beast Democrat areas and Trump somewhat removes himself from the circle of criticism that will inevitably follow.
And also the one claiming President Trump should've stopped Mardi Gras.
Imagine all those crazy drunk cajuns if he'd have tried.
My brother was by there about 2-3-weeks ago and said that overnight the tarps covering the bodies were blown aside and the bodies were visable again.
He texted me a picture but it was not clear.
I reside in Mandeville,Louisiana and this woman is a true hack....garnering as much for herself and her cronies while she is in office. The electorate is the true source of the problem . These are the the ones who kept Edwards as governor ....down here you really can’t fix stupid. Cantrelle is an ass and it means nothing to the majority down here who only pay attention to local news or newspapers...not many actually take the time to inundate themselves with information in order to try and steer clear of such thieves and liars of which Cantrelle is. Her first name is Latoya (a fine Irish gal/s)
I thought when NOLA pulled down those horrible Confederate statues, they would be on Easy Street???
