Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry emphasized the importance of taking a strong stance against evil in the wake of the recent attack on Bourbon Street. During a news conference, Gov. Landry stated that such attacks can occur anywhere and that it is crucial to proactively address and eliminate evil to protect Americans.
He stressed the need to confront evil head-on rather than attempting to appease or ignore it. Gov. Landry highlighted the necessity of actively combating evil rather than merely hoping it does not manifest itself in communities.
“You can’t go out there and placate it (evil). You can’t go out there and say, ‘Oh, I’m going to put this in place and that in place and hope that evil doesn’t show up on your doorstep.’ Because it will. You have to crush it. And that’s what we’re going to do here,” Gov. Landry affirmed.
He expressed determination in addressing the recent incident and moving forward as a community. Gov. Landry assured that efforts would be made to support the victims of the attack, including those currently hospitalized and fighting for their lives.
“We’re going to put it all behind us. We’re going to continue to keep the victims, those that are in the hospital, either fighting for their lives or trying to recover, in our thoughts and in our prayers,” Gov. Landry concluded.
