During his first administration. But the MAGA world will never know that.
And so much bullshit follows Trump's lies.
… A transgender soldier spoke out after she was falsely named on viral right-wing social media posts as the pilot of the helicopter involved in a crash with an airline. After her name and pic were posted all over X, she posted a video to prove she is very much alive. Jo Ellis: "Some craziness has happened on the internet and I'm being named as one of the pilots of the DC crash. Please report any accounts or posts you see. It's insulting to the victims and families of those lost and they deserve better than this BS from the bots and trolls of the internet."
… Stephen Miller continued the Trump narrative on Fox that DEI was somehow the reason for the airline crash: “It’s so preventable. As President Trump said today, over the past four years the FAA and air-traffic control under Joe Biden have been dedicated to a mission not of a public safety and not of safe aviation but of DEI.”
… Karoline Leavitt: “When you're flying with your loved ones, do you pray that your airplane lands safely and gets you to your destination or do you pray that the pilot has a certain skin color? I think we all know the answer.”
… Petey Doocy from Fox to Leavitt today: “If President Trump is telling us that air traffic control towers are staffed with unqualified people - DEI hires - then it’s not safe to fly now, is it?” I’m sure the airline industry is thrilled right now.
… Alina Habba: "We cannot have sloppy, lazy and inappropriate hires, because American people are going to suffer and die."
… Lara Trump, who was given the position of ‘co-Chair of the RNC’ despite having zero qualifications whatsoever, on Fox: “Hiring people for any other reason than competence and merit does a disservice to the public. We should never be hiring anyone for any job other than the best person for that job. That should be the number one reason.” Marrying Eric Trump seems to help qualify you also.
… Sen. Chris Murphy: "What he’s saying is that the only people who are competent to run anything in this country are white men. Why did he come out so quickly to attack women and Black people for ruining the FAA? He did that because he’s very vulnerable. He has some big questions to answer because the FAA has been in chaos since he took over. Elon Musk, his co-president, forced out the FAA administrator - this could be a coverup."
… More Murphy: “This crash happened on Trump’s watch. After he deliberately threw the FAA into chaos by leaving the agency leaderless, firing the safety board, and bullying its employees to quit. The reason he’s casting blame everywhere else is that he knows what he did.”
… Congressional Black Caucus Chair Yvette Clark: “He will continue with the vilification and demonization. He will continue with this madness until our Republic is as white and as male as this administration can bend and break the law to make it. His slew of illegal, unconstitutional executive orders prove just this.”
… Even Newsmax’s WH Correspondent James Rosen seemed disgusted with Trump’s press conference. He asked Leavitt today: “This was an event that began yesterday with a moment of silence for the victims, then the president’s invocation of a loving God, then he uncorked that expletive to insult a former Cabinet officer (Buttigieg). Does the president regard his public profanity as effective communication or is it something he lapses into inadvertently out of frustration and later regrets?”
