Nashville mayor John Cooper was speaking on local news about the explosion that happened in the city this morning, and couldn’t help himself from laughing about it:

This is a circumstance where there are injuries and a lot of property damage. While it’s extremely fortunate that there were not more severe consequences from the blast, this was a bad time for humor.
Here is OutKick’s previous coverage of the explosion in Nashville.

That’s what the mayor looks and sounds like?
We need to get back to having men run things.
Was thinking the same thing. Thought it was a lesbian at first
Agreed.
Hahaha Hahahaha Hahahaha….did George Carlin come back as the Mayor of Nashville? Holy shit. This guy really knows how to throw out a zinger!
Resign
Man, he tried to let y’all have Christmas and you Nashvillians go and do something like this. New Year’s is cancelled effectively immediately. So is Easter. You’re probably not getting 4th of July, either. The only thing you’re gonna be celebrating from here on out is MLK Day and that fake one in June that no had heard of until this year.
Mayors try so hard to let allow people to be with a limited number of their family on holidays and even a few people to make a living and THIS is how they’re repaid. Tsk, tsk.
My God…the broken water main gave it more drama? Does he have a clue how absolutely awful a car bomb in his city is? He doesn’t even seem upset. Sheesh….I have no words.
The bigger question for me, which is the same question I have for all cities and states that put buffoons like this guy in office, is “why do you keep electing idiots like this?”
I can’t remember who made the quote “eventually, people elect the government they deserve.”
Amen, William…the absolute mediocrity and incompetence of the people running major metropolitan cities…and affecting the lives of the citizens…it boggles the mind!!!
didn’t watch, but no offense … this site preaches about not embracing cancel culture while trying to cancel pretty frequently *shrug*
Criticizing isn’t canceling. It’s Internet’ing.
He’s the mayor. He’s joking about a bomb blast. He’s supposed to be a leader. He’s a buffoon. WTF is wrong with you? Oh right, you didn’t watch . So why are you commenting if you didn’t watch it?
nah, Clay is my boy, but I’ll call them how I see them. If we don’t believe in cancel culture (and I don’t), let’s not be hypocrites …
actually, you are calling what you didn’t see.
I didn’t see where Clay said to cancel this guy being mayor. Being critical of a leader’s actions especially in that situation is not the same as saying he shouldn’t be a leader anymore.
Crisis brings out the best or worst in people. It also reveals the general ineptitude of many people in leadership today. This guy is a case in point.
The left has been infiltrating politics through the lower elections now for about a decade. They’re doing this purposefully. They started with bigger cities in red states with council positions and then on up. That’s how you end up with a guy like this. Local elections are easily won if you have lots of outside money. I don’t know this guy but I have a feeling he sort of came out of no where or one day decided to be mayor.
Tool. I tried to give him the benefit of the doubt at first then I watched the video a couple more times. He is joking that there won’t be another bomb. As Ray commented, false flag meter went to code red. Like he is in on the hoax.
Seems bad, but it is a small snippet. Maybe he takes it more seriously in the rest of the interview.
That may be generous, though – I’ve heard bad things about him before this.
Like he just got out of watching an action movie. Unfortunately, this is real life.
Lends a certain theater…….wow. What a tool
