One Louisiana city refuses to take hurricane evacuees. Officials blame racial justice protesters.

“We know that bad actors will take our hospitality and use it against us," one local official wrote, following the police shooting of Trayford Pellerin, a 31-year-old Black man.

Hey @RepClayHiggins! Constituent here, bitch. Nothing potential about it. And I'm white & NOT the only one. We've got these loose weapons laws YOU champion until it's Black people?

Also, @RepClayHiggins, I'd be remiss to leave out your history of brutality against Black men when the police would still have u. Your deadbeat ass owes >100k in child support, but u quote the Bible as though you're a paragon of virtue. This backfire will be spectacular.

Mais, what dis is, @RepClayHiggins? Smells like swamp ass.

Our Views: Clay Higgins shows he's an idiot. Don't take his medical or public safety advice.

Louisiana’s Clay Higgins strikes again, embarrassing us in a way we do not deserve from one of our state’s members of Congress.

Look, @RepClayHiggins!! If I didn't know better, I'd think I wrote this.

Didn't want to let my Rep think I forgot about him...and neither have the rest of us. Piggins launched his "career" using this EXACT kind of hateful rhetoric.

Here's just one of his cringeworthy Crime Stoppers bits, using divisive & threatening rhetoric from behind his badge. YouTube is chock full of them, unfortunately. By the way, do you live inside our district yet, @RepClayHiggins?

The people of #LA03 have had 2 terms, 4 years, and endless embarrassments & are wise enough to fire @RepClayHiggins.
