"On his second day in office, as part of his careless-or-intentional destruction of the institutions that have made the United States strong and safe, Donald Trump disbanded a group called the Aviation Security Advisory Committee."

"In just 11 days, Donold wreaked havoc on aviation safety:
100 senior FAA officials fired, taking decades of experience with them.
The Aviation Security Advisory Committee disbanded, silencing the experts who could have prevented this."

"On Tuesday, January 22, the Aviation Security Advisory Committee’s members received a memo from the Trump administration saying that the Department of Homeland Security was getting rid of the membership of all advisory committees in a 'commitment to eliminating the misuse of resources and ensuring that DHS activities prioritize our national security."

"Last week, just days after his inauguration, Donald Trump eliminated the membership of a key committee that handles aviation security. And on Wednesday night, a passenger plane collided with a military helicopter in the Washington, D.C., area."

But hating immigrants and members of minority communities and owning the libs is just so darned satisfying. Why worry about safety?

"President Trump now oversees the military and the FAA. One of his first acts was to fire and suspend some of the key personnel who helped keep our skies safe. Time for the President to show actual leadership and explain what he will do to prevent this from happening again."

"A calamitous accident over the skies of D.C., killing 67, underscores the need for competent leadership with safety, not politics, as a priority. …
What matters at this moment is our government’s basic competency, and whether its priorities are aligned to best prevent accidents like this going forward. With respect to these questions, the answers are troubling."

Pete Buttigieg responds to Trump's attempt to blame him and Biden for yesterday's plane crash:
"Despicable. As families grieve, Trump should be leading, not lying. We put safety first, drove down close calls, grew Air Traffic Control, and had zero commercial airline crash fatalities out of millions of flights on our watch."
