Okay, this is the number one reason why any Democrat is a damn fool to try to act like a Republican.

Donald Trump had nothing but praise of Louisiana Democratic Governor John Bel Edwards because Edwards is following Trump’s recommendations for re-opening.

President Trump, who is scheduled to meet personally with Gov. Edwards tomorrow in Washington, has repeatedly singled out Edwards, a Democrat, for his coordination with his administration, praising the governor’s leadership during the Covid-19 pandemic on more than one occasion. “In the case of Louisiana, we have a very good governor, John Bel Edwards, though he’s a Democrat,” Trump told Fox News.

You know what that kind of talk is? That kind of talk is to warn you that you’re fixing to get buckshot in the back of your head.

A three-page memo went out from the Louisiana Republican Party.  It advises Republican members of the state legislature to ignore the advice and recommendations of public health experts and undermine trust in Edwards.

Taken in its totality, the document reads like a guide to subverting public health policy and reframing the efforts to curb the pandemic, which has already claimed the lives of at least 1,800 Louisianians, as an “economic shutdown.”

It tells the legislature how to answer questions and even gives them a list of words to avoid – partisan, risky, budget, death/die – and words to use – empower, deserve a voice, responsibility, economy.

The GOP memorandum contains a series of factual distortions about the state’s response and falsely claims that Gov. Edwards’s order was made against the advice of the Trump White House.

They are going to accuse you of being anti-Trump even if you go along with Trump. So, you might as well follow science.
