Governor Of Louisiana Says Feds Didn’t Give ‘Any Hint’ That He Needed To Cancel Mardi Gras

Welp, if you flash your melons, beads won’t be the only thing you’ll get.

So, this so-called “leader” apparently needs to be given a color-coded directive by someone else in order to do what the rest of the nation is already being called to do?

We’re literally practicing social distancing as a nation and he thought Mardi Gras was an appropriate event to maintain?

Even the dang Ostrich Festival in Chandler, AZ was cancelled because of this… and that’s held in just a local park.

Give me a freaking break.

According to Breitbart:

Sunday on ABC’s “This Week,” Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards (D) said no one, including officials from the federal government, urged him or local officials to cancel the Mardi Gras celebrations to help stop the spread of coronavirus.

When asked, Edwards said, “Well look, there was never any hint from anyone to me or to the mayor of New Orleans that there should be any consideration to downsizing or canceling Mardi Gras.”

He added, “I think if you look back there we about 15 cases in the country all of which of the tied directly to travel or indirectly to travel and there was never any hint of this.

If you look back, the federal government was saying things were well under control.”

Thursday on CNN, New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell said her city was given “no red flag” from Homeland Security, FBI, or the CDC to cancel the Mardi Gras celebrations to help stop the spread of coronavirus.

I definitely SMH’d too hard and hurt myself, but this is prime dunce behavior.

If churches and schools aren’t considered essential during this time, a freaking flash-your-tits party with parades certainly shouldn’t be either.
