transgender soldier has spoken out after being incorrectly named as one of the Black Hawk helicopter pilots involved in the collision with an American Airlines plane in Washington D.C on Wednesday.
"Some craziness has happened on the internet and I'm being named as one of the pilots of the DC crash," Ellis wrote on Facebook on Friday.
"Please report any accounts or posts you see. It's insulting to the victims and families of those lost and they deserve better than this BS from the bots and trolls of the internet."
Newsweek has contacted Ellis for further comment on Facebook...

As noted in another thread - DOD needs to get out ahead of this. Fast.
Well, that angle was short lived...

Like yesterday!
I can’t fact check this right now but supposedly on the podcast who interviewed her she said pat robertson was her father
This is just getting weird.
Where’s the statement, “I am not the cause of the crash.”
I assume someone’s in possession of his phone now.
Yes, let’s not live in rumor and conspiracy theories.
“Authorities have not released the names of the crew onboard the helicopter …”
That’s part of the problem right there. Notify the families. Then release the names. Secrecy will always breed suspicion.
Put out there to trap those who would question?
By this time the military should have notified next of kin and they need to get the names of the crew members out to the public.
LOL! You must be new here (just kidding).
There are 3-4 posters that are pushing a very specific narrative about the aircrew.
No, that’s not what s/she said at all. Her father worked for Robertson’s media group. Was a conservative who homeschooled his family, but didn’t, per Ellis, necessarily agree with Robertson on everything.
Very interesting.
Apparently he/she is alive and posting on that Facebook thing.
Luke Ford is the one making the claim, and his podcast before this one interviewed Vance, no? So I take it he’s fairly connected and credible?
I agree - I need to get some sleep (I’m on the other side of the world)
We don’t know if any “trans” were involved.
However, I will guaran-damn-tee you DEI WAS.
It's very important to a lot of people that the pilot and/or air traffic controllers be either troons or DEI hires.
