This year began in tragedy, as a man drove his truck, one with an ISIS flag, into those celebrating on Bourbon Street. He also got out and began firing. Police killed the suspect, Shamsud Din Jabbar, but not before he killed 14 people. There's been plenty of concerns about how law enforcement, including the FBI, handled the terrorist attack, making it even more necessary for Kash Patel to be confirmed as President-elect Donald Trump's FBI director. Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN), in a recent episode of "Unmuted with Marsha" weighed in on all of this, with a sneak peak exclusive shared with Townhall.
For such an episode, the first of this year, Blackburn spoke with Former FBI Assistant Director Chris Swecker.
The senator began by asking Swecker about the security barriers on Bourbon Street being down, broken, and in the process of being replaced. Blackburn had some pretty pertinent questions, "why was there no backup plan for this? How in the world could a law enforcement entity look at this and not have a proper backup plan to keep the public safe?" To add more embarrassment for the city, the police chief didn't even know about the barriers.
Swecker offered that the issue was "complacency and incompetence," adding, "I mean, there's no other way to explain it." He also spoke to the exact role that the FBI played in investigating the terrorist attack, and why they have not done such a great job.
"The city of New Orleans, and all law enforcement and the FBI, the agencies that are responsible for managing this type of event. Now the FBI is not primary, but they have an intelligence role to play. Nothing bad had happened in a long time, so they got complacent," he offered. Swecker also reminded that having such barriers "is not an alien concept to them," given that they have the Sugar Bowl every year, have had the Super Bowl, and Mardi Gras is a big annual celebration. New Orleans gets a multi-million dollar grant for security because of such events.
Swecker also focused on how "the biggest thing with security is deterrence," which involves "putting up a strong front and deterring anyone who wants to do bad things from actually trying to do them." The barriers have to actually go up, though.
