Karoline Leavitt gives fact-check after Sen. Schumer blames Trump for upside-down Delta plane crash in Toronto.
During an interview on "America Reports" on Tuesday, she blasted the lawmaker for saying that Trump’s recent cuts to the Federal Aviation Administration’s workforce contributed to the accident.
"It’s incredibly irresponsible for Chuck Schumer to say such a thing when the investigation is still underway," Leavitt said.
"Democrats are fighting to protect the flying public," he added. In a subsequent post, Schumer wrote, "To those asking whether it matters that the plane’s destination was in Canada: The flight took off from Minneapolis.
Leavitt repeatedly pushed back against the senator and dissected his claims. She began by noting that Canadian air-traffic controllers were responsible for directing the plane at the time of the crash.
Speaking to "America Reports" co-anchor John Roberts, she said, "And as you rightfully pointed out, John, this crash unfortunately took place in Canadian airspace with Canadian air-traffic controllers overseeing it."
