WASHINGTON (AP) — Hillary Clinton has called Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards to discuss the state's devastating flooding and says the state's relief effort, "can't afford any distractions."

The Democratic presidential nominee says in a Facebook post that her "heart breaks for Louisiana," where a torrent of about 2 feet of rain deluged the southern part of the state, damaging tens of thousands of home and affecting more than 100,000 people.

Clinton's campaign released the post on the same day that Republican Donald Trump and his running mate Mike Pence traveled to Louisiana to inspect the flood damage.

Clinton is urging people to reach out to the Red Cross and the Baton Rouge Area Foundation to help with flood relief.

I predict she will get negative feedback, to act faster. Even Clinton type undecided know it wouldn't be very hard for her to fly to the area, and wonder what is preventing that.

It really gives Trump a strong card, against her responsiveness and maybe health.

Trump Visits Louisiana, Hillary Goes to Martha’s Vineyard for Bill’s Birthday Party

by Charlie Spiering19 Aug 2016774


Democratic Presidential Nominee Hillary Clinton is getting ready to celebrate her husband’s 70th birthday this evening on Martha’s Vineyard, according to a Clinton aide speaking to CNN.

Obama is also vacationing on the island, although it is unclear whether he and Michelle Obama plan to join the Clintons for the momentous occasion.

Clinton’s trip coincides with Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump’s visit to Louisiana to highlight the suffering of local citizens after the state was hit by unprecedented flooding in the area.

It was clear by Friday afternoon that her campaign felt it necessary to reach out after Trump’s visit, as they posted a statement from Hillary on her Facebook page.

“My heart breaks for Louisiana, and right now, the relief effort can’t afford any distractions,” she wrote. “The very best way this team can help is to make sure Louisianans have the resources they need.”

Clinton indicated that she called Democratic Governor John Bel Edwards in Louisianaa nd urged her followers to donate money to the Red Cross and the Baton Rouge Area Foundation.

Yesterday, Department of Homeland Security Jeh Johnson cited President’s “busy schedule” to explain why he was unable to interrupt his vacation to visit the disaster area.
