Via
The Advocate—Louisiana Governor John Bel Edwards said the
president spent 20 minutes with him discussing the severity of the flood and
traveled to a disaster recovery center to meet with local volunteers.
Later he spent 20 minutes in a closed meeting with families
of Alton Sterling, a 37-year-old black man who was killed in an altercation
with police on July 5, and officers slain and wounded in a convenience store
attack less than two weeks later.
The Advocate originally criticized the president for not
ending his vacation in Martha's Vineyard immediately to visit the region. There
has been bipartisan criticism for being too slow to visit the state.
One
Denham Springs resident slammed the president saying, "There ain't
nothing he can do for us that Louisiana ain't done for ourselves. I've got no help from the federal government.
I ain't asking for help from the government. Baby, let me tell you my community
has come through."
