Trump Blames Fatal Potomac Crash On Dems, DEI feat. Rep. Jamie Raskin

An American Airlines flight from Wichita, Kansas, and an Army helicopter on a routine training flight collided over the Potomac River late Wednesday night. While investigators spent Thursday trying to piece together what happened, President Donald Trump took the opportunity to blame the tragedy on... Democrats and D.E.I. It was the latest outrage in too many to count since Trump took office not even two weeks ago. Maryland Congressman Jamie Raskin joins us to talk about what Democrats can do to counter Trump’s onslaught of horrifying nonsense. Later in the show, Crooked Idea's climate correspondent Anya Zoledziowski shares some good news about Trump’s anti-climate orders. And in headlines, Tulsi Gabbard and Kash Patel got their chance to flail in front of senators during their respective confirmation hearings, Secretary of State Marco Rubio says he’s headed to Panama amid Trump’s threats to retake the Panama Canal, and a fragile ceasefire between Israel and Hamas continues to hold.
