CNN Commentator Apologizes, Deletes Post Blaming Trump for D.C. Plane Crash
Breitbart ^ | 01/30/2025 | Sean Moran

Posted on 01/30/2025 8:52:56 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

Bakari Sellers, a top CNN commentator, on Wednesday apologized and deleted a post blaming President Donald Trump for the horrific plane crash in Washington, DC.

A mid-air collision between a regional American Airlines jet and a US Army Black Hawk helicopter late Wednesday night close to the Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport reportedly left no survivors.

As Americans were reeling in the aftermath of the crash, one CNN commentator, Sellers, swiftly took to X, formerly Twitter, to blame Trump for the tragedy.

“Eight days ago,” Sellers wrote, referring to Trump’s recent inauguration to become president. At the time, it remained unclear what caused the crash.

The next question libs will ask is “Can we impeach Trump for this”? They’re giddy after each tragedy to see how they can use it politically.

Sounds like he should be fired as a reporter and go find a job as an opinion commentator.

Typical Democratic strategy. Throw out blame for something, they actually caused most of the time, and then withdraw it and just say “Move along, nothing to see”.

What is wrong with you, you stupid bastard? Social media has caused a collapse of discretion and discernment. But you’d expect that someone whose job it is to communicate could do better. And the profanity used in the retraction? What a stupid oaf

“I deleted the post because timing matters. Politics at this point does not. I f***ed up, I own that,” Sellers wrote.

When your apology goes on offense it ain’t an apology.

“Never heard of her.”
Of course you haven’t, nor has the vast majority of the rest of the U.S. It’s CNN.

The days of blaming Trump for every single misfortune are OVER.

This happened a lot after the 2016 election, the media twisted everything into “Trump’s Fault!”

Now these jerks are being immediately called out - and should be fired.

This person is well known among the four people who still watch CNN.
