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.”

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

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:
