La. Gov. Bel Edwards: ‘It Was Helpful’ Trump ‘Shined a Light’ on Louisiana’s Trouble

‘I also appreciated the good phone call, the conversation that I had with Governor Pence’

EXCERPT: 
BASH: "OK. So, was he helpful? Now that it’s come and gone was he helpful? Was it a good thing that he came down?"
EDWARDS: "Well, I think — yes, for the reasons that I stated earlier because it helped to shine a spotlight on Louisiana and on the dire situation that we have here, that it was helpful. And I will tell you that I also appreciated the good phone call, the conversation that I had with Governor Pence, who was sincere and genuine when he called and we spoke for a long time on Friday morning about their desire to be helpful."
