Summary

Trump blamed diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) hiring policies for a fatal plane crash in Washington, D.C., despite no evidence linking them.

He accused the Biden and Obama administrations of lowering FAA safety standards, while ignoring that the crash occurred under his presidency.

His comments sparked backlash, with former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg calling them “despicable” and Sen. Chris Van Hollen condemning the politicization of the tragedy.

        Duh. The libs want to censor their media, take away their free speech, and use their position to push their views on others.
