SEASON 3 EPISODE 93 - COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN

BULLETIN (1:45) TRUMP INSULTS DEAD FROM WASHINGTON PLANE CRASH: In a stunning, sub-human dismissal of those who perished over The Potomac Wednesday night that tops even his earlier insistence that "DEI" somehow was responsible for the 67 deaths (and that he knew this because he had common sense when nobody else did), Trump insulted the memory of the victims and the grief of their mourning relatives.

Asked if he would visit the site of the accident, he asked "You want me to go swimming?"

Also tonight: despite Trump's mindless protestations about "DEI" this is more about "DOGE." The New York Times got hold of the initial FAA report on the disaster and discovered that staffing at the Air Traffic Control Tower at Reagan National was lower than normal for this time of day and year.

The dead may have been victims of The Department of Government Efficiency. If "DEI" is a dogwhistle for enraged white supremacists like Trump, "Government Efficiency" is a dogwhistle for mindless billionaires like Musk who don't just want more money - they want ALL the money.
