At least 15 people have been killed and dozens were injured when a truck drove into a crowd on Bourbon Street in New Orleans in the early hours of New Year’s Day. Authorities have said that they believe the driver wasn’t “solely responsible.”. The FBI has said that the suspect - 42-year-old Shamsud-Din Jabbar - is an army veteran from Texas. He died after exchanging gunfire with police. Officials added that the suspect had made videos before the attack in which he said he had joined ISIS.
Trump added that federal agencies such as the Department of Justice and the FBI, as well as “Democrat state and local prosecutors” haven’t done their jobs, going on to call them “incompetent and corrupt.”. The president-elect argued that they shouldn’t be focused on attacking him but instead “protecting Americans from the outside and inside violent SCUM that has infiltrated all aspects of our government, and our Nation itself.”.
“Democrats should be ashamed of themselves for allowing this to happen to our Country. The CIA must get involved, NOW, before it is too late,” he added. “The USA is breaking down - A violent erosion of Safety, National Security, and Democracy is taking place all across our Nation. Only strength and powerful leadership will stop it. See you on January 20th. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”.
