What happened in New Orleans that sparked backlash?
The second post that you'll see here was 90 minutes later when he learned that the feedback he was getting was less than stellar, posting a photo outside Bonton's Prime Rib, a fancy steakhouse with a bunch of his friends. As this account, Laura Burkhart says, elect better people. It doesn't have to be this way. You don't have to bring in such ghoulish people who do stuff like this. You can actually elect people who care about we, the people. And I go back and I remember all of those videos we were doing with the red flags of Jeff Landry and how he was just a Donald Trump mega sycophant who would post these bizarre messages and photos of himself. And this is what you get, a lack of leadership, zero leadership. Then Landry posted 90 minutes later,
How did GOP leaders respond to the New Orleans attack?
It's important to understand that we have many visitors in the city of New Orleans right now. Safety is our top priority, and we want our guests and the world to know that Louisiana does not cower to radical Islamic terrorists. Our restaurant and all New Orleans has to offer, has to remain open for business. By the way, I'm not sure if that message is all that much better. You're trying to act like it was an act of bravery that you went to Bonton's Prime Rib Fancy Steakhouse before going to a football game. I mean, you think or in preparation of going to a football game. You think that's what's actually showing leadership right now? And folks, it's important to get the facts. What a leader does when there's a domestic terrorist attack or when there's something tragic is first you speak to the people. After gathering the information about what happened, you don't lie and spread disinformation.
What are the implications of leadership during crises?
And as I've said in a video I did earlier today, there was once a time, believe it or not, in American history, not all that long ago in my lifetime, where when there would be natural disasters or terrorist attacks, we would come together as a nation and try to actually solve the problems. We wouldn't finger point and say, oh, it's this person's fault or that's person's fault. But that's all MAGA does with all of these attacks and natural disasters. I mean, Just think about even how Donald Trump was campaigning. You know, when there were those horrible hurricanes that hit the East Coast, what would Donald Trump do? He would lie and say that Biden is making sure that FEMA is helping illegal immigrants and not helping the people and Biden's not going to give you any money or resources, which was 100 percent false. It was a way, though, to turn it into a political thing and to blame things on immigrants and rile people up. That's not what leaders do.
Let's just talk about what the latest set of facts are, what the latest data is. The FBI now says that there is no evidence that the New Orleans attacker was anything but a lone wolf. There was a lot of disinfo out there about, oh, that this was a conspiracy with lots of other people. Again, this was someone who was an American in Texas who was in the United States military who did this and who was working and living in Texas. Here's updates from Mike Baker post the latest updates. There's actually 14 dead down from 15. The attacker, Jabbar, he reported joining ISIS last year. Two explosive devices were found in the French Quarter. Jabbar placed them.
