Is anyone watching the interview with Carolyn Goodman (Mayor Las Vegas)?

[Sancho]

CNN Anderson...

What a maroon!!?!??

[OneBlueDotBama]

1. Totally bizarre... n/t

[redstateblues]

2. Painful. Desperate times for Vegas

I have loved playing Blackjack in Vegas. Probably will never will again. Very sad

[Mike 03]

3. Oh thank you. I was wondering who that was but I missed

the introduction and couldn't listen long enough to hear the outro. Incredible. I'm going to tweet to her in a second...

[Progressive Law]

4. I can't believe anyone would vote for this mayor after her performance interview.

It was a total cluster*

[FoxNewsSucks]

5. Just saw the end of it.

Total nutjob.

Wouldn't agree to go to the casino floors she wants reopened. Gave pathetic excuses, then finally said "I don't gamble" and "I don't have time".

No one asked her to gamble. But if she thinks it's so safe, she should make an appearance, it would part of her job.

6. All she cares about is getting those darned casinos open again. And the health of the residents of

her city can be damned I guess. But fortunately our governor Steve Sisolak, a Democrat, is having none of it.

14. who is going to fly in??

The amount of visitors wouldn't even break even the costs of serving them.

It doesn't even make financial sense to open the casinos...for the casinos.

[BeyondGeography]

7. Forget it she's rolling

19. I saw the whole thing.

I loved this part. I have say he did a great job on that interview and called her out time and again.

Thanks for posting this, BG.

8. Yes! An Idiot Cubed

She called Anderson an alarmist after 45,000+ deaths!
Moron.

[rso]

9. Las Vegas

Yes, embarrassed for the Mayor, who though an independent, seems to be a trump-clone in all respects. Whoever runs against her next time will have a great advantage by merely showing selected clips of the interview.

[Sancho]

13. Trumpet bought and paid for....

[lapfog_1]

10. let the casinos fail who have Covid-19 illness in their guests

never mind the people dying...

Their relatives will sue.

Only thing is... all the casinos are going to have people die that visit. It's a fucking PANDEMIC you stupid moron.

[Wellstone ruled]

21. Wynn Resorts International has

asked for a Bailout. Boyd Gaming as well as Red Rock Resorts have already received a few Billion. BTW,Goodman is the Mayor of Las Vegas and the Stripe is all on Clark County unincorporated Land governed by Clark County Board of Commissioners who has a lady Democratic President and Goodman has always been a Tea Bagger Libertarian in recent years.

Yes we are stuck with this POS till 22.

[rollin74]

11. Oh my. I'm glad she's not my mayor

the people of Las Vegas deserve much better than that

one of the most cringeworthy interviews I've seen in a long time

Thank goodness our governor has the sense to do the right thing and handle this crisis in a responsible way

[greatauntoftriplets]

12. She's a complete idiot.

I have to give props to Anderson Cooper for not bursting into laughter and making faces while she was spouting malarkey.

[mchill]

15. I had to rewind to record what I was hearing was really being said

[Ananda62]

16. I live in Vegas

I’m embarrassed that she’s the mayor. Thank goodness our governor - Steve Sisolak- is sane.

[mchill]

17. After watching more--she has to be demented

[Quiet_Dem_Mom]

18. Thankfully, she has no say in the matter (Strip under County Commissioners)

And Gov Sisolak just announced that NV is at Phase 0 on reopening and will not consider reopening until we hit some medical / statistical improvements. This also includes continue closure of the schools until the end of the academic year. Listening to people with science and medical backgrounds. Weird.

As far as Goodman...a good portion of the reason she is mayor is because she ran after husband, Oscar Goodman, termed out. And, a bonus bit of info: The Mayor Pro Tem of LV? None other than Michelle Fiore.

Some of her greatest hits include: claiming cancer was like a fungi and hangin' with the Bundy's during the stand-off, among other things Trumpian. (https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2016/06/michele-fiore-congress-las-vegas-nevada-213960)

The Commissioners seem to be a bit more reasonable--a low bar considering the dynamic duo above-- and Sisolak was on the commission prior to being elected governor (beating Laxalt--thank all the gods).

22. How the fuck did this woman get elected?

Las Vegas is a very Democratic city.

[Quiet_Dem_Mom]

23. Ran after husband (Oscar) termed out as LV Mayor

Nothing like riding someone else's coat-tails.
