Sen. Tim Kaine called out Donald Trump’s despicable attempt to blame DEI on the horrific air disaster that occurred under his own watch this week exactly for what it is: a desperate attempt to shirk blame for his own dangerous incompetence.
Kaine deserves props not only for his forceful and dead-on criticism but for his framing. He didn’t fall for Trump’s effort to cause an uproar over diversity and racism but shifted it to its proper context:
KAINE: I think the president was race baiting to take attention away from this: He let Elon Musk force the resignation of the FAA administrator at the beginning of the administration. He disbanded, on day two of the administration, an aviation safety committee within DHS, and the reason for disbanding it is “we want to focus on national security.” What air safety isn’t national security?
