Illinois Governor JB Pritzker criticized President Donald Trump for blaming DEI hiring practices at the FAA for the tragic Washington, D.C., aircraft collision, arguing that Trump is unfit to lead during crises.
Democratic Illinois Governor JB Pritzker criticized President Donald Trump for his handling of the tragic Washington, D.C., aircraft collision, accusing him of being unfit to lead during crisis situations. Pritzker's statement came in response to Trump's suggestion that the Federal Aviation Administration's ( FAA ) focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion ( DEI ) might have played a role in the crash.
\'We face the unfortunate reality that we must be honest with the nation about: Donald Trump is unfit to lead during moments of crisis like this,' Pritzker said. He urged the Trump administration to respond to the crash with 'information and facts to instill confidence in our nation’s aviation safety.'\Pritzker directly addressed Trump's accusations, stating, 'Before victims have even been identified, Trump is blaming people with disabilities,' referring to the FAA's DEI hiring practices. He continued, 'He’s blaming the U.S. service members in the Blackhawk helicopter. He’s blaming hiring programs he can’t even name or offer examples of. The buck stops with him — yet he is failing to demonstrate his role as protector of the American people and head of our government.'
