YouTube Description
as posted by the channelHouse Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries says the plane crash tragedy that happened near the nation's capital deserves compassion and decency not "misinformation and misdirection."
"Democrats look forward to an administrative inquiry that is fact based, thorough and comprehensive," Jeffries said Friday while at an event in New York.
"We don't need misdirection and we don't need misinformation coming from the highest office in the land. We need integrity. We need decency. We need leadership."
Jeffries comments come after President Donald Trump on Thursday began his White House briefing with a moment of silence and a prayer for victims of Wednesday's crash at Reagan National Airport.
But his remarks quickly became a diatribe against diversity hiring and his allegation — so far without evidence — that lowered standards were to blame for the crash.
Trump pointed the finger at the helicopter’s pilot, air traffic control, his predecessor, Joe Biden, and other Democrats including former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, whom he labeled a “disaster.” Buttigieg responded by calling Trump “despicable.”
