Karoline Leavitt Destroys Chuck Schumer For Ridiculous Take On Trump And The Toronto Plane Crash

Posted • February 18, 2025: We’ve been reporting on the breath of fresh air that is White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, because after surviving the ineptitude and arrogance of Biden PressSecs Jen Psaki (now an MSNBC flack) and the sneering Karine Jean-Pierre, it’s nice to see a smiling young face at the podium who actually knows her facts. And she takes guff from no one, as she has repeatedly proven. She did it again Tuesday when she sliced and diced Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) for his depraved take on the Toronto jet crash, which was terrifying but miraculously led to no deaths. It’s Trump’s fault, the clueless septuagenarian senator who has haunted the halls of Congress for almost three decades opined on social media: Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer: “To those asking whether it matters that the plane’s destination was in Canada: The flight took off from Minneapolis. The FAA was still responsible for inspecting the aviation equipment, and Trump just let go of FAA safety specialists.”

What a despicable take. First of all, the accident just happened Monday, and investigations are ongoing. It certainly doesn’t look like it had anything to do with air traffic controllers—it appears as if the plane simply came in too hard, and as RedState’s Bonchie noted, failed to flare upon landing. In any case, we don’t know the facts yet, and to imply that a U.S. president is responsible for a crash on foreign soil when he hasn’t even been in office for a month is beyond the pale. Leavitt let him have it during an interview on Fox News’ "America Reports" Tuesday: Karoline Leavitt just delivered a slam dunk fact-check on Chuck Schumer for blaming the Delta plane crash that took place in CANADA, under Canadian Air traffic control, on Trump. "It's incredibly irresponsible for Chuck Schumer to say such a thing when the investigation is still underway... no air traffic controllers have been let go by Secretary Duffy or this new administration." - Press Sec. Karoline Leavitt. -- Anytime Chuck Schumer opens his mouth, we can just assume he's lying. It's 2nd nature to him. (…)
