Donold is blaming a plane crash that killed 67 people on “DEI” with zero evidence.
He is attempting to use racism to deflect from the fact it is HIS fault. He had just removed 100 FAA senior officials.
It’s been 11 days and there are 67 bodies in the Potomac in Washington DC because of him.

These are infuriating, & disqualifying quotes from Pete Hegseth—and his recent about-face on women in the military is simply not convincing.
