Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA.) On Sunday suggested that President Donald Trump’s step blamed last week’s afternoon collision for a passenger jet with a military helicopter in Washington, DC, about diversity acquisition was a calculated decision to deduce from His own government that of his own government’s shortcomings.
In an interview with CNN’s ‘State of the Union’, the Senator Trump shot for the selection of Dei as the main cause of the crash in the early hours of the tragedy, and called his words ‘absolute abdominal walk’.
However, the senator explained that Trump had good reason to share the unfounded theory, which has since also been taken over by Vice President JD Vance.
“I think the president did not want to get difficult questions, such as, why did you let Elon Musk force the FAA manager to resign? When this crash took place, there was no FAA manager because he clashed with Elon Musk. ‘
Mike Whitaker, the former head of the FAA, left the role on the inauguration day after a feud with musk about safety problems at the Billionaire’s SpaceX Company. After Wednesday’s accident, Trump called a new acting manager of the FAA.
In the meantime, Kaine Trump has torn to delete an Aviation Safety Advisory Committee within the Department of Homeland Security as one of his first actions as president. Although the panel still exists technically, it no longer has members who show up safety problems at airlines and airports after the Trump administration had issued a memo in which it was announced that they took away the members of all advisory committees, According to the Associated Press.
Kaine also suggested that the president’s decision to offer buyouts to all federal employees, including air traffic controllers, while the FAA is already confronted with a shortage of them, was particularly unwise.
“I think the president was nervous that he would be asked questions about the policy of his own administration that emphasized the air safety, and so he decided that everyone would have a rabbit hole from his dei -tends pursue without evidence,” Kaine said that CNNs Jake Tapper.
Trump on Friday doubled In his assessment, it was “common sense” that diversity, fairness and inclusion practices would have adverse consequences.
