Last week, @LAGovJeffLandry literally made a big point of saying that New Orleans had rebounded after Hurricane Katrina at an event for LIV GOLF. He pointed to LIV's decision to bring an event to the city next year as an example of how well NOLA is doing. #lalege

A couple of things: 1. @LAGovJeffLandry can send the national guard to New Orleans or Shreveport without the president. 2. Landry has said repeatedly that Louisiana is "winning" ... Sending the military to NOLA or Shreveport doesn't square with the state "winning" ... #lalege
