On Thursday, the president baselessly tried to blame the Washington DC plane crash that has killed 67 people on DEI diversity measures.

But what is DEI, and how is Trump dismantling it?

By using the term DEI you are adopting the language of the authoritarian regime.

That’s stenography, not journalism.

The headline is “US President baselessly blames minorities for Washington air disaster.”

Do better.

Trumps DEI may be true or may be untrue I dont know. But it certainly isn't "baseless":

Next Trump will be claiming the crash wouldn't have happened if the helicopter had been a *White* Hawk not a Black Hawk.

Ah The Independent. Can we expect you’ll be propagandists for Trump for the entire four years of his presidency?

DEI is a way for Republicans to say the n-word openly and in public. Nothing more. And they will beat that dead horse for the next for year because of all the pent-up hatred they have inside.

seems to me an outright war on black women and men, on handicapped people as well.

It's a smokescreen so people will become enraged over something that has little to no effect on their lives while the administration dismantles an institution that has stood for decades and steals all the money that has already been budgeted.

It’s the new Critical Race Theory, which was another substitute for n-word.

What is DEI? Its Christianity; treating others like you wish to be treated and giving them a seat at the table
