Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards: Donald Trump welcome, ‘but not for a photo-op’
|
[WASHINGTONTIMES] Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards said Friday that GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump is more than welcome in the state if he plans on helping flood victims, but not if it’s just for a photo-op to gain voters.
"Donald Trump hasn’t called the governor to inform him of his visit," the Democrat’s office said in a statement. "We welcome him to LA, but not for a photo-op."
Sounds like the Donald came to roll up his sleeves, distribute supplies, see the damage, and oh yeah, have a number of photo ops. It's what politicians do, GOVERNOR... | Mr. Trump and his running mate, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, are expected to head to Baton Rouge on Friday, but the campaign has said little about their plans in the flood-stricken state capital.
"Instead we hope he’ll consider volunteering or making a sizable donation to the LA Flood Relief Fund to help the victims of this storm," the governor’s statement added.
The Advocate, the state’s largest daily newspaper, issued an editorial Thursday calling on President B.O. to cut his vacation in Martha’s Vineyard short so he could assess the damage in person, but the governor said a presidential visit would divert emergency resources that are already spread thin.
The Donald donated an 18-wheeler full of supplies.
