Nine days after President Donald Trump was sworn into office Leftist shills are already exploiting a horrific tragedy to place blame where it doesn’t belong.
As normal Americans watched in horror and prayed for victims after a U.S. Army Black Hawk helicopter crashed into an American Airlines passenger jet over the Potomac River some on the left were over-eager to place blame.
Take for instance, former South Carolina Democrat Representative and CNN political analyst Bakari Sellers who quickly deleted his post that highlighted a federal funding freeze and its alleged impact on air traffic controllers.
“8 days ago”, was all Sellers wrote before realizing that he “f**cked up.”
You deleted the post because dozens of Americans are currently being fished out of the Potomac, and rather than have reverence for the victims, you chose to dishonestly (and despicably) blame @realDonaldTrump pic.twitter.com/djduf7OqE3

Sellers’s mea culpa didn’t sit well with leftist social media influencer “JoJofromJerz” who argued that now is not the time to take “your foot off the gas of truth.”
What???? What do you think they’d be saying if Biden were at the helm?!
We can and should be sorry for the lives impacted but do not take your foot off the gas of the truth. Please.

What truth would that be? The fact that the tragedy had nothing to do with politics, let alone Trump’s handful of nominees who’ve only been in place for days.
Unfortunately, JoJo was far from alone in her lust for political points, and the folks at MSNBC’s Morning Joe also jumped in, albeit a bit more nuanced.
“To me, it brings into focus why these confirmation hearings are important in the first place,” NBC White House correspondent Ali Vitali said. “One of the common threads between all of these nominees has been the question, the correct one: are they qualified to serve in these highest positions in government? You have more of these confirmation hearings happening today.”
Rest assured Vitali, newly confirmed Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy jumped into action HOURS after his confirmation.
Sean Duffy didn’t sleep last night as he deals with a nightmare just hours into the start of his new job.

Newly sworn-in Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem also assured Americans their departments were already on the case.
Latest below. Absolutely tragic. Search and rescue efforts still ongoing. Prayers for all impacted souls, and their families.

But, Vitali suggested Duffy wasn’t experienced enough ahead of the confirmation hearings for Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard for Kash Patel who was tapped to head the FBI.
“But it again brings into sharp focus that it’s not partisan to question experience in moments like this,” Vitali said. “It also underscores how important a transition is. There are all of these mechanisms in place to make sure that the incoming administration has all of the information that they need to hit the ground running, and this is an exact example of why you would want to know all of that information, so that on day one.
“If you are the transportation secretary, as Sean Duffy is, you can come in and have a little bit of expertise about an otherwise unfamiliar place that you are walking into. And I think it’s really important for us to keep that in mind that as we go through these confirmation hearings, these are the exact moments that you want to have confidence in the individuals who are there and trust in the information that those individuals are able to bring you.”
That’s rich coming from someone who supported the outgoing Transportation Secretary.
Thank God Pete Buttigieg is no longer our Transportation Secretary.
Our new Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy is already on site at the FAA HQ in DC responding to the tragic plane crash.
This is what real leadership looks like. pic.twitter.com/Wh4wzYzado
