Here's an odd video from New Orleans where the mayor has the strangest excuse for why she took $30,000 from tax payers to fly first class from New Orleans to France and Switzerland.
A defiant New Orleans Mayor Latoya Cantrell insisted she had to fly first class on recent taxpayer-funded junkets to France and Switzerland because economy class is not safe for a black woman and because she has a child.
The Democrat mayor made the shocking claim at a news conference Thursday where she was asked if she would reimburse the city for $30,000 spent to fly in luxury. Cantrell vowed not to repay Big Easy taxpayers despite a city policy that would seem to require her to.
