A right-wing candidate for Louisiana governor used a racial slur during an appearance on a local radio program.
Gary Landrieu, a cousin of former New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu, is running as an independent candidate for governor on an anti-immigrant platform that echoes President Donald Trump’s rhetoric, and he dropped the N-word in response to an apparent prank caller to a radio show, reported Right Wing Watch.
The caller referred to Landrieu as a “piece of sh*t” during Wednesday’s broadcast of WGSO-AM’s “Chicks on the Right” program, and the hosts and the candidate taunted the man for using profanity.
“You know what growing up in a family of 10 means?” Landrieu said. “You can’t hurt my feelings, because I don’t have any. You’re entitled to your opinion. That’s what makes America great. You’re free to do what you want, and say what you want, and think what you want, but you know what? I’m free to do and say what I want to do, too. You do that to my face, you’re going to get slapped in the mouth.”
The hosts recoiled in horror.
“Hey! You can’t curse!” said co-host Michelle Hirstius.
