Former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg hit back after President Trump criticized the Biden administration and diversity initiatives in the aftermath of a deadly midair collision outside Washington, D.C.
“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,” Buttigieg said in a post on social platform X.
“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.”
Buttigieg’s comments came minutes after Trump concluded a press conference on the Wednesday night crash between a Black Hawk helicopter and an American Airlines flight near Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport. About 60 people were believed to be on the jet, and authorities have said there are no survivors.

Thank God he is gone!
I look forward to understanding the investigation on this terrible accident. I would like to know why a training mission was going on at one of the busiest airports in the country?
As usual DJT makes a non PC explanation before he should. He’s right but picked the wrong time to do it.
Buttgigity is a worthless tool.
Buttigig did nothing when that. Train derailed in eastern Ohio so he has no grounds to call out this President!
This goes back to the 2015 cheating scandal and the dumbing down of the FAA test. Also,dropping the ATC College grads in favor of the usual suspects!
DEI
Good point!
Maybe the two aircraft were simply trying to have aerial sex. Why should we discriminate against aerosexuals?
I heard this morning that “close calls” had doubled under his watch. So maybe this was only a matter of time?
One of his qualifications he stated 4 years ago at his confirmation hearing, is that he proposed to his husband at an airport.
Years ago when the libtard corrupt MSM was turning the red-diaper baby Butt-plug into a political saint, they ran a puff-piece about his “husband Chasten.” Overall, the dude is typical mentally-ill homosexual man carrying a ton of baggage from a screwed-up youth.
One thing that they mentioned about the guy is that had a life-size, color tattoo of a jar of JIF peanut butter tattooed on this thigh.
WTF?
“Time for the President to show actual leadership and explain what he will do to prevent this from happening again.” says Buttegeig.
So much for not jumping to conclusions or assigning blame. sheesh.
Cry more, Butt-edge.
Butt plug caused this with his leftist nonsense by the way during bidens regime there was plenty of near misses just thankfully nothing happened
Is he still chest feeding his kids?
Clearly he does not have much to do right now and has even less to say than he did before.
The little fellow is butt hurt, as usual. 😱
Petey Butt Boy had zero do with US Transportation. He was a dirtbag DEI hire.
I as well. And it may be that training missions are appropriate in this setting and why will be revealed. Bongino’s 72 hour rule likely applies here. So much initial reporting will turn out to not be true or mischaracterized, etc.
