Staff Reports
In a jarring incident that unfolded over Washington, D.C., an Army UH-60 helicopter met a tragic fate as it collided with a PSA Airlines Bombardier CRJ700 regional jet during an approach to Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport. Instead of focusing on the realities of the situation, the left-wing media, led with predictable fervor by outlets like CNN, wasted no time attempting to pin the blame on President Trump and his administration for this catastrophic event. While the left jumped to conclusions and assigned blame, serious investigations into the accident were only just beginning.
The chaos began in the air traffic control booth, where newly released audio reveals the moments leading up to the fatal collision. As one can expect, the left’s immediate reaction was not to inquire about the safety protocols but instead to tear into the political figures they despise. With the crash becoming fodder for their narrative, their finger-pointing was as reckless as the pilots’ miscommunications that preceded the accident.
The audio captured during the incident shows a controller instructing the helicopter to pass behind the regional jet, but alarmingly, the helicopter did not respond on the correct frequency. This miscommunication likely set the stage for the disaster that ensued. Just forty seconds later, the ground control team was alerted to the fireball igniting in the river—an image that would leave no room for ambiguity about the severity of the situation. As details emerged, it became clear that the chaos was more than just a bureaucratic mishap; it was a deeply tragic event resulting in deaths, with the helicopter carrying three soldiers on a training flight and the jet filled with passengers caught in the wrong place at the wrong time.
In the wake of the collision, leftist commentators were quick to unleash their outrage and filter the tragedy through their political lens, attributing blame to Trump without any substantial evidence. Meanwhile, conspiracy theorists began spinning their tales, as is typical in the aftermath of crises. Amid this cacophony of accusations and wild theories, the actual investigations into the crash remained buried under the weight of partisan rhetoric.
So sad and awful.

As rescue operations morphed into recovery efforts, the stark reality became apparent. No survivors were expected, and the gravity of the incident began to settle in. The collision marked a bleak milestone as the first involving a U.S. commercial flight since 2009, a detail that took a back seat to the needless political posturing from the left. Rather than rallying for the victims and their families, the left focused their attention on exploiting the tragedy for political gain.
While the serious investigation unfolds, one can only roll their eyes at the never-ending tendency of the left to leap to conclusions while ignoring the evidence. The left’s instant finger-pointing and conspiracy-mongering distract from the tragic loss of life and the need for accountability and clarity. In a time for mourning and investigation, they choose to spin tales and assign blame, making one wonder if a moment of solidarity is simply too much to ask from these self-appointed arbiters of morality.
