Pers secretary Karoline Leavitt has effortlessly taken Senator Chuck Schumer out for his 'irresponsible' suggestion that President Donald Trump was the fault of a plane crash in Canada.
On Monday evening, a Delta aircraft with 76 passengers and four crew members crashed at Toronto Pearson Airport on the way of Minneapolis.
Miraculously, everyone survived everyone on board, even though the plane was on fire and turned upside down.
Schumer insisted that President Trump's recent cuts on the Federal Aviation Administration as part of his government flushing contributed to the accident, which caused a rapid reprimand of Leavitt.
“It is incredibly irresponsible for Chuck Schumer to say something like that when the investigation is still going on,” she said Fox.
“This crash unfortunately took place in the Canadian airspace with Canadian air treatment controllers that supervise this.”
Schumer had argued that it did not matter where the plane landed, since the United States left.
“To those who ask if it happens that the destination of the plane was in Canada: the flight left from Minneapolis,” he said.

“We want the best and the smartest, the most competent individuals in positions, in particular of public safety at the FAA, the Ministry of Transport and all departments in this federal government, so that we can best serve the American people.”
