I'm Jane Coston and this is Whataday the show asking God, the universe,
Beyonce, whatever might be out there to deliver us from these Trump administration confirmation hearings.
On today's show,
Tulsi Gabbard
and Cash Patel get their chance to flail in front of senators during their respective confirmation hearings.
And Secretary of State Little Marco says he's headed to Panama.
But let's start with the deadly plane collision between an army helicopter and an American Airlines flight from Wichita,
Kansas late Wednesday night.
The passenger plane was descending into Reagan International airport outside Washington, D.C.
when it collided with a helicopter on a routine training flight over the Potomac River.
At the time of our recording Thursday night, all 67 people on the two aircraft are reportedly dead.
The recovery mission in the icy Potomac is ongoing.
President Donald Trump held a press conference Thursday morning to offer the obligatory thoughts and prayer speech.
But then he immediately pivoted to blame the tragedy on Democrats and diversity, equity and inclusion programs.
He doubled down when reporters pressed him on his claims.
I'm trying to figure out how you.
Can come to the conclusion right now that diversity had something to do with this crash because I have common sense,
okay?
And unfortunately, a lot of people don't.
