WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump on Thursday questioned the actions of the Army helicopter pilot and air traffic controller ahead of a deadly midair collision in Washington and quickly veered into politics to speculate that Democrats and diversity initiatives shared blame for the deaths of 67 people.

President Donald Trump on Thursday claimed, without citing evidence, that diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives for air traffic controllers at the Federal Aviation Administration -- under Democratic presidents -- were partly to blame for the tragic plane and helicopter collision in Washington on Wednesday night.

The country’s first major air disaster in more than 15 years hit while the Federal Aviation Administration doesn’t have a permanent leader. President Trump hasn't named a nominee for FAA administrator,

The collision involved a Bombardier CRJ700 regional jet operated by PSA Airlines and a military Black Hawk helicopter.

President Trump implied diversity push in the Federal Aviation Administration may have played a role in the crash, injecting a partisan note just moments after sounding a moment of unity and grieving.

Trump offered no evidence that diversity hiring practices contributed to the fatal plane and helicopter collision.
