Mayor of New Orleans blames Trump for not cancelling Mardi Gras.....convenient after it is over to say so..."New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell defended her decision not to cancel the city's Mardi Gras festivities earlier this year, when the coronavirus had already been ravaging the US.
She told CNN that if the outbreak had been taken seriously on the federal level at the time, they would have called off the event.
"When it's not taken seriously on the federal level, it's very difficult to transcend down to the local level in making these decisions," Cantrell said, adding that the federal response "backed up by the response of our national leader."
Louisiana has grown to be one of the virus' epicenters in the US, with Orleans Parish having the most per-capita cases in the country.
As of Friday, 83 people died of COVID-19 in the state and there were more than 2,300 positive cases."
