  • Donald Trump's initial response to the New Orleans attack was cringeworthy
  • and then the Republican decided to double down on discredited misinformation.

The article from MSNBC's Maddow Blog discusses former President Donald Trump's reaction to a mass shooting in New Orleans, which occurred during a Mardi Gras parade. Trump's initial response was to criticize the city's crime rate and its mayor, LaToya Cantrell, rather than focusing on the victims or offering condolences. He suggested that the mayor should resign due to the city's crime issues. This response was seen as lacking empathy and was criticized for politicizing the tragedy. The article points out that Trump's comments were not only insensitive but also factually incorrect, as crime statistics showed a decrease in violent crime in New Orleans. Furthermore, his reaction was compared unfavorably to how other political figures might respond to such events, highlighting a pattern of Trump using tragic events to attack political opponents rather than addressing the human cost of the incidents.
