Democrat in Louisiana Legislature switches to GOP, giving Republicans a supermajority

JTN: The longest-serving Democrat in the Louisiana state legislature, Francis Thompson is switching to the GOP giving Republicans a super majority in Baton Rouge for the first time in the state’s history. 

On Friday, the Louisiana GOP put out a press release that Thompson was switching parties, giving them a 70-vote supermajority. He was first elected to the state legislature as a Democrat in 1975, according to Newsweek. 

The former Democrat-turned Republican said his values and principles guided his decision to switch.

  1. Am I allowed to question what kind of values he holds that kept him in the democrat party for so long?

  2. Been in office since 1975 🤔 Forget about switching to a Rino it’s time to go.

    These people that make politics a career just end up screwing things up 🤪
