ALT Despite Donald Trump’s claims on live TV, disabled people did not cause the plane crash at DCA. What a dangerous, repugnant, morally reprehensible thing to say to a nation of people who are shocked and scared and especially to the grieving families of people who just died in a horrific and unimaginable way. DEI did not cause a plane crash. This is infuriatingly ableist and racist garbage. In our greatest moment of need, we are once again abandoned by the very people meant to lead.
