Media And Left Sink To New Lows To Blame Trump For Air Collision

A horrific air collision between an American Airlines passenger jet and a US Army Blackhawk helicopter late on Wednesday night has resulted in multiple fatalities.

Media reports say that 60 passengers plus four crewmembers were on the flight incoming from Wichita, Kansas, to Reagan National Airport, and three servicemembers were on the helicopter, which was apparently on a training flight out of Fort Belvoir. From best available evidence at this time, after the air traffic controller audio was released, this tragedy looks to be human error by the Blackhawk.

The full extent of the disaster won’t be fully known until daylight hours, but there will be dozens of grieving families after this unspeakable tragedy.

However, since when did the media, or the left, stop for facts before pointing a finger of blame at Donald Trump?

While people have begun deleting their hot takes, this is one of those moments where the internet is forever. As first responders were on scene, recovering bodies and looking for any possible survivors, members of the media decided who to blame. The execrable Aaron Rupar, for example, decided within minutes that this was totally Trump’s fault.

CNN’s Abby Phillip was really really REALLY hoping that her guest would blame Donald Trump.

The full post reads:

CNN’s Abby Phillip tries to not-so-subtly move the conversation towards blaming Donald Trump and his new administration for the American Airlines-Blackhawk helicopter crash over the Potomac next to Reagan National Airport…

Phillip: “Look, it’s January 29th. We are just nine days out from a presidential transition and administrative transition. The FAA administrator resigned at the end of the Biden administration, so there is no permanent confirmed FAA administrator right now. This is going to be a time when there’s going to be a lot of public communication and a lot of investigation of what happened here. What do you anticipate this transition period is going to mean for what happens today and tomorrow and in the coming days, as we find out what happened here?”

Mary Schiavo, former DOT official: “Well, the transition period for aviation, not just in the DC area, but for all of the united States was extremely important. We have so many aviation issues brewing right now, and there has been, you know, criticism of our national and our international, our national aviation policy — routes, access to aviation, the constant roller coaster of hiring and firing of pilots who has access, what are the routes, what are we going to do to get to get good service and then throw in on top of that, you know, things like, you know, the the drone traffic. And so, I think it’s very important. But first and foremost is this particular these operations were entirely under the control of air traffic controllers. This is controlled airspace and, of course, air traffic controllers do not come and go with the change of political administration. You know, we have a fortunately a very, you know, highly trained career cadre of air traffic controllers and that’s important. So, the the politics of the situation should have had no impact whatsoever on the air traffic controllers.

But this wasn’t limited to media members. Congresswoman Norma Torres (D-CA) decided this HAD to be Trump’s doing.

So, according to these people, because the last FAA administrator resigned (which The Daily Beast is now blaming on Elon Musk, because why not), this accident was allowed to happen. Or because there is a hiring freeze of air traffic controllers, this happened. My word, these people really do think that bureaucrats run this country, don’t they? It’s not like the FAA administrator stays up all night, watching planes go up and down. And we have the audio recordings of the air traffic controller – it’s not like the helicopter hit the passenger jet because no air traffic controller was there to say anything.

President Trump issued a statement almost immediately (and later made additional comments on Truth Social), and the newly sworn in Secretary of Transportation, Sean Duffy, was immediately on the scene, and at the press conference with other officials in the dead of the night while recovery operations were underway. It’s a nice change of pace from former Secretary Buttigieg, who took THREE WEEKS to show up at the scene of a toxic train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio. Yes, yes, I know, this air collision happened in Washington DC itself. Still, do you think that the Biden White House staffers would have bothered waking the boss up in the middle of the night to tell him about this? Odds are not good.

Tragedies like this, while rare, do happen. It’s awful and terrible and horrible. But for media members or government officials to rush to judgement, and decide that their favorite boogeyman, Donald Trump, must be the one to blame? Trump Derangement Syndrome is alive and well, and breaks out at a moment’s notice.

Please keep in mind that there are going to be many broken hearts across the country today. Pray for them.
