This.

Anybody who's driven the streets of Lakeview/Gentilly in the past few years knows that they're minefields. People in those neighborhoods literally have signs in their yards saying "I pay my taxes, fix my damn roads". Yet those statues took priority over fixing the infrastructure. Hell, Mitch even callously joked about it when Lee came down.

And still, none of his malfeasance would've gotten any real exposure had the city not flooded so soon after the statues came down. THAT was his misfortune. It exposed him.

It was perfect karma for abusing the trust of his constituents and the powers and privileges of his office.

If he's truly stupid enough to run for President, a lot of people are going to beat him over the head with this and he will have no good answer for this that doesn't involve admitting the truth and apologizing for it but he won't do that because he's a Landrieu and they're about as shameless and corrupt as it can get.

The top priority of any mayor of NOLA is to make sure the bowl shaped city sitting under sea level doesn't fill up with water. That's number 1 on the "Don't frick Up" list. Well, he fricked up. What a waste of energy.
