Summary

Donald Trump blamed a Washington, DC, plane crash on a diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) program, despite the fact that he launched the initiative during his first term.

The 2019 FAA program aimed to hire more air traffic controllers with disabilities.

Trump misattributed the program to Democrats, citing a misdated Fox News report, and claimed DEI compromised safety, though no evidence supports this.

Investigators are still examining the crash, which killed all 67 people aboard.

    Sadly true. Well actually I’m not even sure that they believe it. I think they like it that it upsets people so much.
