Louisiana's Lt. Gov: 'I was wrong' to advocate to continue parades, conventions amid coronavirus
By Justine Coleman - 04/13/20 01:20 PM EDT

Louisiana Lieutenant Gov. Billy Nungesser (R) admitted he was “wrong” on Sunday for advocating that parades and conferences in New Orleans go on despite the growing coronavirus crisis.

Nungesser apologized to New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell for criticizing her decision to cancel events like the St. Patrick’s Day parades, on CNN. He said he “absolutely” regrets his comments.

“So the mayor did the right thing,” he said. “In hindsight, I was wrong and she was right.”


“I was looking at the tourism aspect of it and not knowing what was to come in the weeks to follow that,” he added.

Cantrell canceled New Orlean's events in early March, including the parades, prompting Nungesser to condemn her decision, saying in a USA Today interview that it would cause a ripple effect in the tourism industry.

Well, at least he admits it.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
