DHS rebukes Chuck Schumer over comments about Mexican navy ship crash
 
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) issued a statement on Sunday speculating that the Mexican navy training ship that crashed into the Brooklyn Bridge could have been avoided. It was an accusation that drew the ire of the Department of Homeland Security’s X account.

In a post on X, Schumer insinuated that cuts implemented by the Department of Government Efficiency could have contributed to the accident in New York City.
 
“With the Brooklyn Bridge strike last night,” Schumer began his post. “I’m fighting for answers about whether Trump and DOGE have impacted water traffic control.”

“We know they’ve been meddling with U.S. Coast Guard staffing,” the senator added. “Trump relieved Admiral Linda Fagan as Commandant of the USCG, and that position is still vacant.”

Reports yesterday said the crash was the result of an engine failure which caused the ship to drift into the bridge.  Now, that will probably change in the MSM today to fit Schumer's "theory." :whistle:
