Rachel Maddow gave covering fire for President Obama on the 18 August 2016 edition of her MSNBC show over his initial decision to stay in Martha's Vineyard instead of visiting flood-stricken Louisiana. Maddow spotlighted the "scathing editorial" from a Lousiana newspaper criticizing the Democrat over the move, but defended the President by pointing a finger at former Governor Bobby Jindal: "Even before this storm, Louisiana, as a state, had really been on the brink of economic disaster...state coffers, honestly, were really, really, really drained by the fiscal policies of previous governor, Bobby Jindal."
