Mitch Landrieu: ‘It Wasn’t Just an Attack on New Orleans, It Was an Attack on America Herself’

EXCERPT:

LANDRIEU: “So everybody just needs to be vigilant. The Superdome is going to be safe tomorrow night. We do these things all of the time. You understand now, because of your reporting, that they're a nationwide threat. So, this was a terrorist attack in an American city. It wasn‘t just an attack on New Orleans. It was an attack on America herself. And all of us have to be in this fight to make sure that we don‘t bow down to terrorists, we don‘t let them stop us from enjoying ourselves- But we have to secure the city, and we have to continue to do this over a long period of time, because we have these other major events coming, not the least of which is the Superbowl, which we've handled many, many, many times."
