Rep. Adams' Statement Following Tragic Plane Crash in Washington

WASHINGTON, DC – Today, Congresswoman Alma Adams (NC-12) released the below statement following the tragic plane crash in Washington:

“My heart is broken by the tragic accident in Washington last night, on a flightpath to DCA that I regularly use as part of my job, and carrying a crew based in Charlotte. I am praying for the victims on the airline, the Army helicopter, and their loved ones, and my heart and gratitude are with the first responders on the scene. That leaves no room for consideration of the President’s disgraceful comments.”
