Using the tragic plane collision over the Potomac that cost 67 human souls as an occasion to slam DEI hiring was obscene. There’s zero evidence at this point that an underqualified air traffic controller or pilot had any role in this crash.

Folks on TV say Trump blaming DEI is “inaccurate” & “inappropriate.” Huh? Is that all? What Trump is saying is ugly. It’s racist. He's blaming brown & black people for the crash. He's saying brown & black people aren't qualified. “Inaccurate” doesn't cut it. What Trump is saying is racist & bigoted.
