Stephen Colbert on Thursday ripped Donald Trump’s attempts to blame the deadly airplane crash in Washington, D.C., on diversity hiring at the Federal Aviation Administration.

“This morning, as 67 families were waiting in unapproachable grief desperate to find out what happened to their loved ones, the president of the United States took that moment of their tragedy, the tragedy for these people who I’m confident are not concerned with politics right now, to, without any evidence whatsoever, blame DEI and Democrats for the deadly plane crash,” said Colbert.

The Late Show host aired a clip of Trump being asked at the press briefing, “I’m trying to figure out how you can come to the conclusion right now that diversity had something to do with this crash?”

Trump replied, “Because I have common sense, OK.”

Colbert commented: “No, not OK.”

He then added: “No common sense and no common decency.”

Trump “blames everything on DEI, it’s his only game,” Colbert added. “The horrific fire sweeping through Los Angeles, DEI in the fire department. Violence in America, DEI in the police departments. Grocery prices, DEI chickens.”

After Donald Trump Blamed The DC Plane Crash On DEI, Stephen Colbert Spotted 1 Recurring Trend With His Responses To All Sorts Of Issues Affecting Americans

In the wake of the tragic DC plane crash, former President Donald Trump made headlines by placing the blame squarely on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) efforts. His controversial statement sparked outrage and disbelief among many, with critics accusing him of politicizing a tragic event.

However, amidst the chaos and confusion, late-night host Stephen Colbert noticed a recurring trend in Trump’s responses to various issues affecting Americans. Whether it’s the economy, healthcare, immigration, or climate change, Trump consistently deflects blame onto others, often resorting to divisive rhetoric and scapegoating.

Colbert pointed out that instead of taking responsibility and offering real solutions, Trump’s default response is to shift the focus away from himself and onto others. This pattern of behavior, according to Colbert, not only undermines the seriousness of the issues at hand but also perpetuates a culture of fear and division.

As Americans continue to grapple with the aftermath of the DC plane crash and other pressing issues, Colbert’s observation serves as a reminder to hold our leaders accountable and demand transparency and honesty in their responses. Only then can we hope to address the challenges facing our nation and work towards a more united and inclusive society.
