UPDATE: President Trump Releases an Explosive Statement in Response to the New Orleans “Terror Attack”
America’s real president has weighed in on the harrowing terrorist attack in New Orleans early this morning while Joe Biden apparently remains asleep.
As The Gateway Pundit reported earlier, a reported terror attack hit New Orleans this morning, with at least 12 people dead and at least 35 injured.
Fox News reported a driver in a white pick-up truck intentionally plowed a car into a crowd of New Year’s gatherers on Bourbon Street in New Orleans, according to authorities.
The driver exited the vehicle and fired a weapon after hitting the crowd. Two police officers were reportedly injured in the gunfight.
The suspect died during the gunfight with police. It is unclear at this point if it was “suicide by cop” or if he took his own life.
President Trump responded to this carnage just a short time ago in explosive fashion. He referenced reports that the suspect may have entered America illegally while expressing condolences to the victims and support for law enforcement.
He added that his incoming administration will fully support the city of New Orleans.
“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,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “The crime rate in our country is at a level that nobody has ever seen before. Our hearts are with all of the innocent victims and their loved ones, including the brave officers of the New Orleans Police Department.”
“The Trump Administration will fully support the City of New Orleans as they investigate and recover from this act of pure evil!” he added.
Incoming Vice President JD Vance also weighed in, calling the incident “heartbreaking” in response to Trump’s post.
“Heartbreaking violence last night in New Orleans. Such a beautiful and great American city. May God bless the victims and their families,” Vance wrote on X.
