President-elect Donald Trump commented on the attack, calling it evidence of rising crime in America. “We will fully support the City of New Orleans as they investigate and recover from this act of pure evil!” Trump declared.
On social media, Trump added, “When I said that the criminals coming in are far worse than the criminals we have in our country, that statement was constantly refuted by Democrats and the Fake News Media, but it turned out to be true.”
He also expressed condolences to the victims, stating, “Our hearts are with all of the innocent victims and their loved ones.”
