Many are pointing to a past Facebook post in which Louisiana's Governor Edwards seemingly encourages alcohol consumption as some call out his alleged hypocrisy.
In a press conference today, Louisiana Governor John Bel Edwards said that Louisiana needs to continue mitigating the risk of spreading COVID-19 through all of the measures that are currently in place.
Some businesses claim to have found a loophole to exploit in order to gain the business of those who choose not to mask up. According to the official statement from the Louisiana State Fire Marshall, this is simply not true.
Attorney General Jeff Landry does not believe the Governor has the legal standing to mandate masks, or single out a certain type of business, in COVID orders.
