(USA Today) Louisiana three-term Senate Democrat Mary Landrieu, first elected in 1996 defended her earlier comment speaking with NBC News Chuck Todd, that Obama and her are unpopular in her state because her constituents are racist and sexist.

“The main reason the president has struggled here is because his energy policies are not in line with the people of Louisiana. We are pro-drilling, pro-oil, gas state. The offshore moratorium was extremely unpopular in my opinion–It made a lot of people angry and put many businesses at risk. In addition, the South has not always been the friendliest place for African-Americans to advance and its been a difficult place for Women to be recognized as the leaders we are. Everyone knows this is the truth and I will continue to speak the truth, even as some would twist my words seeking political advantage.”
