A video showing utility workers turning their backs on President Joe Biden as his motorcade passed them on a Louisiana road in the wake of Hurricane Ida has gone viral — and the workers' act of defiance has earned them more than a few kudos.
It isn't clear exactly where and when the cellphone video was recorded, but a New Orleans ambulance passed by after the Biden motorcade, so the back-turn presumably took place somewhere in the vicinity of the Crescent City.
Biden on Friday also delivered remarks in LaPlace, Louisiana — which is about 32 miles northwest of New Orleans — on his administration's response to Hurricane Ida.
As the motorcade approached, a couple of utility workers watched facing forward —

— but as Biden & Co. drew closer, the pair turned their backs on the president, along with about five other utility workers:

"No respect," the individual recording the video said after he and his co-workers were done turning the backs on Biden.
Here's the clip:
