Krewe of Tucks? More like Krewe of Cucks! Amirite?
Old Tucks would have escalated this to epic proportions but I guess they’re now afraid of losing their permit. Money wins again.

NEW ORLEANS — The Krewe of Tucks issued a formal apology to Mayor Latoya Cantrell for an incident involving a member on a float. The letter, dated Wednesday, says:
"Krewe of Tucks prohibits any and all forms of obscene, offensive, vulgar or political communication of any form including the offensive obscene finger gesture. The Krewe investigated and identified the offending individuals and immediately terminated his membership in Tucks."

Last I checked she was the one flying the bird, right? I’m sure there was some back and forth but it damn sure wasn’t one sided

I guess the mayor's office has no such prohibition. Good news for the trash that currently holds the office.

Cantrell explained the incident where she was caught on video making a gesture with her middle finger. The krewe addresses the gesture the Mayor made, saying they believe her "response in the spirit of Mardi Gras" was "appropriate."
Wait, so krewe member flipping the bird is banworthy but Latoya flipping the bird is in the spirit of Mardi Gras? Hmm.

They should have done nothing.

They could have expelled the member quietly and moved on.

Their public apology is as pathetic as it is unnecessary and makes them look like cucked morons.

Probably not a bad idea in the long run. This vindictive bitch will be in office for two more years. She could've made their lives difficult the next two Mardi Gras'.

Can we start a campaign to buy a billboard calling out her obvious affair?

Clearly, she can’t take the heat.

As odious as Teedy is, and as well deserved as the disrespect to her was, most of these krewes have very strict rules about float rider decorum and behavior. Fines and suspensions are very common for misbehaving riders.

That said, it is very hard to resist disrespecting the city brass at Gallier Hall as one's float slowly rides past it. I usually put down my throws and drink my beer at that point of the route. Can't get into trouble that way.

The old Krewe of Tucks would have created an entire float dedicated to flipping off the mayor and her response

Good thing Chicken doesn’t have this policy.

This apology is just in case.. As in... Just in case she is still in office next Mardi Gras... It's a smart move to avoid the petty "get back" BS we all know this POS is capable of...

This just makes LaToya look worse IMO. The rider got his comeuppance, now that bitch needs hers.

I think that may secretly be a goal with making the move. Really makes her look terrible.
