Louisiana governor slammed for tone-deaf hours after terror attack

Hard one yesterday. A tough way to start a new year. That cannot be denied. No hiding it. No running from it.

What happened in New Orleans was disgusting. The videos are from a third world country, not America. It’s annoying. Everyone should be angry today. This crap shouldn’t happen in the US of A. But it did and it was horrible.

Now that that’s completely out of the way, let’s check in with Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry, who pumped out possibly the most tone-deaf tweet in the history of time last night as his state was still reeling from a literal terrorist attack just hours earlier.

Buckle in:

The people of New Orleans saw right through this one

Whoaaaaaaa Nellie! What a post. Incredible.

Now, a few things here…

1. I understand. I understand what the government was trying to do here. It’s like what my great governor would do down here in Florida after a hurricane. You still have an economy to support and people need to eat. You must also send a strength message. I understand it all.

2. That said, this was not a natural disaster. This was a terrorist attack in your state, just down the road from where you eat dinner and take pictures. There were bodies in the street hours ago. Every law enforcement agency in the country is in town right now.

Again, I understand what the government was trying to convey here, but… huff. I just figured that when he—or one of his social media interns—read the comments (which we’ll get to in just a second), they would have immediately scrapped this post.

But no. Here we are, hours later, and it’s still up and…thriving.

Well, thrive might not be the right word here. Let’s head to the comments section to see if we can pick a better one:

Tone deaf. That’s the one! Let’s go with “tone deaf”.

Again, I get it. Life has to go back to normal… a little… in these situations. The American people need to see it resumed because this country was built on resilience and never ever bowed the knee to terrorists.

But maybe pump out a post like this… tonight? Give it 24 hours and then maybe go out to eat in town?

Well yes. What’s done is done.

Prime rib for everyone!
