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.<\/p>\n<p>The first scandal came out in January that <strong>Judge LeBlanc had had an affair with Assumption Parish Chief Deputy Bruce Prejean<\/strong> 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.<\/p>\n<p>Then, Assumption Parish Sheriff Leland Falcon released text messages, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wbrz.com\/news\/lawyers-could-question-eight-years-of-cases-amid-racist-messages-sent-from-judge-s-phone\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">reported on by WBRZ<\/a>, 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 \u201canonymous package\u201d in December of 2018 with information that ended her and Prejean\u2019s friendship.<\/p>\n<p><strong>In the angry text messages, LeBlanc goes on racist rants, dropping N-bombs while calling Assumption Deputy Erick Taylor \u201cthug N***** Erick.\u201d She also accuses Prejean of cheating on her with the law clerk\u2014who is African American\u2014of another judge, saying \u201cAt least I was never unfaithful to you with anyone \u2014 much less a N*****.\u201d<\/strong> As a result of these new revelations, District Attorney Ricky Babin told WBRZ that his office would be informing \u201cevery single defendant,\u201d who had appeared before LeBlanc since 2012\u2026\u00a0 [<em>emphasis added<\/em>]<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Inserted from &lt;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailykos.com\/stories\/2020\/2\/28\/1922792\/-Louisiana-judge-resigns-amid-outcry-over-racist-text-messages-sent-to-law-enforcement\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Daily Kos<\/a>&gt;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=VPXoKOK4jyI\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Racist Edomite LA Judge Resigns After Admitting To Sending Racist Text Messages (That Hatred)<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Barf Bag Alert!!<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/VPXoKOK4jyI\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">This Republican is so worthy of her parade, that she has a bright future un the Republican Reich.\u00a0 I suspect that criminal Fuhrer Trump* will nominate her for the US Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, and Bought Bitch\u00a0 Midnight Moscow Mitch will\u00a0 ensure her confirmation.<\/span><\/p>\n<h1 align=\"center\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold; color: #0000ff;\">RESIST!!<\/span><\/h1>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here is the one hundred seventy-second article in our Republicans on Parade series, featuring individuals who personify what the Republican Party has become.
