Legal expert Glenn Kirschner joins The Stephanie Miller Show to break down Donald Trump’s disturbing response to the catastrophic mid-air collision between an American Airlines plane and an Army helicopter, which has left 67 dead and rescue efforts still ongoing. Instead of focusing on the victims and the investigation, Trump used the tragedy to push an unfounded attack on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs, claiming that the FAA’s efforts to include employees with disabilities under Presidents Obama and Biden may have played a role. While he stopped short of directly blaming DEI, he strongly implied it “could have been” the cause—all before any official findings were released. Kirschner calls out Trump’s reckless and callous remarks, his baseless targeting of former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, and the dangerous implications of using a national tragedy for political gain.
