Fawning MAGA Lawmakers Beg Trump for More Military Takeovers
While the deployments to those largely Democratic-run cities have been met with protests, some Red State politicians, like Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry, would welcome a military takeover on their own turf.
“We will take President Donald Trump’s help from New Orleans to Shreveport!” Landry wrote on X last week.
Another Louisiana Republican, House Speaker Mike Johnson, also welcomes a military presence in the Bayou State.
“New Orleans, like most Democrat-run cities, has a high crime rate, so it would be helpful,” Johnson said on Monday in an interview with The Associated Press.
Louisiana Republican Senator John Kennedy agreed, saying he’d be “delighted to bring in the National Guard.”
“We need all the help we can get,” he added.
Preliminary police data released on Aug. 30 shows the overall crime has dropped 20 percent in New Orleans since last August.
“Depending on what happens, when it happens, if it happens, we’ve looked at what kind of legal actions we could take,” Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott said in an interview with WYPR last week, after a social media scuffle between Trump and Maryland’s Democratic Governor Wes Moore ended with the president threatening a military takeover of Baltimore. “We’ll just be prepared to do whatever we need to do in that moment,” said Scott.
Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker also called out Trump last week for his suggestion that politicians should be begging him for help.
“When did we become a country where it’s OK for the U.S. president to insist on national television that a state should call him to beg for anything, especially something we don’t want?” Pritzker told reporters last week.
@Pritzker when too many of the men who somehow regularly drive Louisiana even further below sea level but still demand public gratitude for doing so, were handed too much power at the same time.
U.S. you want a preview of your future. Look no further than how these men run their own state straight into the ground while blaming everyone else.
Cool. What do we do about it now?
Idk point out their hypocrisy and hope a bird shits in their open mouths.
New Orleans just released their crime stats
Only 41 grams of cocaine were seized off the street. That means there was less cocaine found on the streets of New Orleans recently in 2025 than there was under Jeff Landry's floorboards in the early 90s. Jeff Landry and his cocaine

Jeff Landry and some dude. I still don't know the full story with this, but it seems like people always bring this up when anybody mentions the hypocrisy of the cocaine thing or his anti LGBT laws
Jeff Landry already had his own state police force take over New Orleans a year ago, but now he needs the national guard to come clean up the city he already allegedly cleaned up?
