When asked if he would visit the location where a passenger plane and an Army helicopter collided and killed 67, Trump replied dismissively, ‘The water? You want me to go swimming?’
Many have slammed his response as being ‘heartless.’
After falsely blaming the crash on DEI hiring at the FAA, Trump has faced criticism from both sides of the aisle for seeking to politicize the tragedy.
Even the Trump-friendly FOX NEWS went after Trump for hosting a ‘campaign rally’ amid “what should have been a somber occasion” as the president blamed diversity hiring for the deadly midair collision in Washington, D.C. that left 67 people dead.
“These DEI policies were put in place in 2013, he had every opportunity through his first administration to revoke them if he thought they were terrible, but he didn’t,” noted Fox’s Jessica Tarlov.
