Here is the one hundred seventy-second article in our Republicans on Parade series, featuring individuals who personify what the Republican Party has become. Today’s winner is Republican State District Judge [LA] and pseudo-Christian racist, Jessie LeBlanc. She is so honored for her racist slurs, perversion of justice and Republican family values.
On Thursday, State District Judge Jessie LeBlanc of Louisiana signed and sent letters of resignation. This comes after calls from the community for her resignation due to a slew of scandals rocked the Louisiana judge, and led to calls from numerous attorneys as well as Democratic Gov. John Bel Edwards for her to step down.
The first scandal came out in January that Judge LeBlanc had had an affair with Assumption Parish Chief Deputy Bruce Prejean that is now over. This led to an announcement that a review of around 600 cases the judge and chief deputy were connected to would begin. At the time, Leblanc denied everything, but subsequently admitted to the affair. Prejean was demoted.
Then, Assumption Parish Sheriff Leland Falcon released text messages, reported on by WBRZ, between Judge LeBlanc and Chief Deputy Prejean, in December of 2018 when their relationship apparently soured. According to reports, while the two remained friends after their affair ended in 2016, LeBlanc seems to have received an “anonymous package” in December of 2018 with information that ended her and Prejean’s friendship.
In the angry text messages, LeBlanc goes on racist rants, dropping N-bombs while calling Assumption Deputy Erick Taylor “thug N***** Erick.” She also accuses Prejean of cheating on her with the law clerk—who is African American—of another judge, saying “At least I was never unfaithful to you with anyone — much less a N*****.” As a result of these new revelations, District Attorney Ricky Babin told WBRZ that his office would be informing “every single defendant,” who had appeared before LeBlanc since 2012… [emphasis added]

Racist Edomite LA Judge Resigns After Admitting To Sending Racist Text Messages (That Hatred)
Barf Bag Alert!!
This Republican is so worthy of her parade, that she has a bright future un the Republican Reich. I suspect that criminal Fuhrer Trump* will nominate her for the US Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, and Bought Bitch Midnight Moscow Mitch will ensure her confirmation.
RESIST!!

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
She should have never been in that position….shameful behavior and language!
Good riddance!!!
Ditto to what you wrote too, about her future too, Tom, I agree.
Well, she probably didn’t use the racist language in public, even outside the courtroom,), and she probably didn’t go around bragging about the affair either. Especially since she was handling cases with and for her playmate. Republicans think they’re never going to get caught (they’re so smart, much smarter than libtards, y’know) and are always SO SORRY when they are. But even getting caught isn’t a disqualifier for regime … so you may be right.
With a name like that, what else could one expect? The name and its connotation might well be the reason she got/was voted into the job in the first place. Her behaviour, even if it wasn’t in public, was unfit for her position but you may be right, TomCat, it might just qualify her for a Trump appointment. Now he doesn’t have to interview her; he knows what he’s getting.
LOL! How did I miss that? I’m usually right on top of names. But … I think I know. I was hung up on the name Prejean … because of Sister Helen … because of her book “Dead Man Walking” which was also a movie, and is now an opera, to be premiered by the Metropolitan Opera in the 2020-2021 season. Sister Helen is to be sung by Joyce DiDonato, who herself has worked with convicts and music at Sing Sing and I believe other prisons as well. It’s interesting what kind and caring people so many opera singers today are (Renee Fleming, for instance, works with veterans with TBI.) They are no longer – fi they ever were, and I’m sure some were – the spoiled egoists they had the reputation of being for most of my lifetime.
I hope that you are keeping well Tom Cat.😗
People are saying that she was very persnickety about her wardrobe.
It appears she had a set of black robes for her work hours, and a set of white ones for her leisure time.
Thanks, Hugs, and Amen to all!
