While details are still emerging, I am horrified and heartbroken for the victims of what appears to be an act of terrorism in New Orleans this morning. My heart is with the families and first responders at the scene of this terrible crime.

Please also mention that Fox News spread the lie that the attacker drove across the Mexican border a couple days ago, when in fact, he's a U.S. citizen from Texas. Fox has retracted their initial statement, but how many Fox viewers know that?
Whatever the perpetrators gripe was, the people partying on Bourbon St. didn't have anything to do with it. This doesn't help his case, whatever it was.
Except this “American lunacy” happened at a Christmas market in Germany and happens in Israel near daily. It’s ok to be against extremism. Why are we so quick to minimize Islamic extermination on the left?
How fast do you think @repjasmine.bsky.social that Speaker Johnson, Steve Scalise and Clay Higgins will demand an investigation by their peers in Congress on this incident that took place in their home state...7th worse in city crime in the country?
Listening to Louisiana Senator Kennedy turn a press conference into his snarky 'muster all the respect I could' political partisan bullshit. What a nob.
So I saw photo used as a thumbnail for a news video about the incident. This view does not appear in the video. Notice there is clearly no flag on the back of the truck. Is someone doctoring images? Did someone at the scene remove the flag?
If you’re right I then have to wonder why the local news is using a doctored photo. Why bother to erase the flag when you know that there will be dozens of pics (at least) all over the net, showing the flag?
Somebody needs to get foghorn leghorn out of this press conference. He’s trying to insinuate that this is going to be the fault of the FBI for going after the wrong people already. He’s causing more damage in that room than anything else. He’s only there for his political agenda.
Really sad. The deadly weapon was a Ford F150 Lightning. More people likely were killed due to the irresponsibly high front end. Time to ban such dangerous designs.
Already are. Trump made a bizarre tweet about it. Not sure if the tweet was before it was known the guy was born in Texas or not. Wouldn't surprise me either way with him.
It angers & saddens me that yet another place of joy in America was touched by terrorism & the GUN obsession.
It disgusts me that the incoming, UNWORTHY "Leader" of America has to somehow turn this heinous, cowardly crime into a racist tirade & finger point blame somewhere it doesn't belong.
New Orleans,... bizarre Way to bring in the New Year! Using a vehicle have the Deca-Rage of the Decade!? The 'purp' didn't take Fireworks literally, like Fire-Works...because a Semi-Automatic gun would have killed more. Violence and '15 mins of Fame' is the cornerstone of US 'Democracy'. Madness! 💥
Please stop redefining the term terrorism. This does not appear to be a fringe group plotting and carrying out mass murder but one man committing mass murder .The attack on the capital was terrorism. Planned by one man. Just like Bin Laden did, ours was perpetuated by a terrorist President.
I fear this will be more prevalent when the FBI is gutted over the next few months and many domestic terrorists won’t be investigated or intelligence won’t be acted upon
And this is how Kennedy was acting towards the black female lead from the FBI. What a freaken joke. And then he makes crazy statements about the administration keeping info from the public! Wow
I'm utterly disgusted tbh....and I wonder what exactly that man was lashing out about? Why was it worth trying extinguish innocent lives that didn't know him or do a god damn thing to him ...
Thank you Congresswoman for not politicizing this act of terrorism. Instead responding appropriately and with compassion.
There will be a time and place to scrutinize the facts of what led to this tragedy. Local authorities and the FBI are investigating.
Today our focus should be on the victims.
"Blood Center of New Orleans is critically low so they're opening up at least one donation center today in response to the needs from the attack. If you can donate, today is a great day to do it. All types accepted."

Terrifying.
“Suspect truck had Texas tag:
Officials have confirmed that Jabbar was driving a white truck with a Texas tag with the license plate LZ1 575.
The trailer had a hitch with a pipe wrapped around it. The pipe had a cloth or flag draped around it.”

Good work. Congress woman.
