New Orleans Mayor Blames Trump for Not Shutting Down Mardi Gras over Coronavirus
townhall.com ^ | 3/27/2020 | Bronson Stocking

Mayor LaToya Cantrell of New Orleans refuses to take responsibility for her decision not to call off Mardi Gras over concerns of the Wuhan coronavirus. That decision has caused New Orleans to become the epicenter of coronavirus cases in the state of Louisiana, according to medical experts. So who exactly does the Democratic mayor blame for not canceling Mardi Gras in her own city? Donald Trump.

In an interview with Wolf Blitzer, Cantrell said she didn't take the threat of the virus too seriously because President Trump didn't take it seriously. She then gave herself credit for canceling other events in her city subsequent to Mardi Gras, like the St. Patrick's Day parade.

What a two year old.

Trump COULDNT shut down Mardi Gras. Just like Bush couldn’t force the buses to be used in Katrina.

Suck it up Chocolate City Mayor. This is on you. Wear it.

They were told to leave when Katrina hit. They didn’t.

They were told to stay in when Covid hit. They didn’t.

Blame someone.

Dammit, LaToya, if you need President Trump to run your stupid little city, then step the hell down and let him. What are your citizens paying you for?

They’d be saying he was “Massa Trump”, telling them what to do.

The stupid is so strong with “these people.”

I actually think she’s right. The very existence of Trump has driven the left so fundamentally insane they can’t think straight.

"Mayor LaToya Cantrell of New Orleans refuses to take responsibility for her decision not to call off Mardi Gras over concerns of the Wuhan coronavirus."

You're the mayor, it's your responsibility. If you can't accept that, you shouldn't be mayor.

Let me guess. The “DEAN” of FAKE NEWS CNN let this go unchallenged?

A REAL newsman would have responded:

“EXCUSE ME. You are the Mayor of New Orleans correct? You could have shut down the Mardi Gras all by yourself correct? Do you think it is fair to President Trump to blame him for something you had complete control of?”

Or even the State Governor, another Rat, could have shut it down.

But it’s always, “Quick! Find a Republican to blame!”

I’ve said for about a month. There is no win here for Trump. He will be wrong regardless of what he does.

However this won’t hurt him, nothing has up to now.

She’s not the problem. The idiots that vote for her are the problem. She’s just a symptom of the disease.

Agree. Weapons-grade stupidity and authority is a very dangerous combination.

If the Moron Mayor would have shut it down there would have been riots if the Dom would have, they could have blamed him for the riots. I don’t recall the Dom interfering in any public gathering of any city, it is the dumb ass RAT mayor’s job. Look at De Blosio encouraging mob gatherings, what did that get him?
