Representative Frederica Wilson, currently serving in the U.S. Congress for Florida's 24th district, has made several statements on social media addressing recent events and upcoming activities. Her comments reflect on a recent tragic incident and an upcoming community event.
On January 30, 2025, Representative Wilson commented on a tragedy involving human casualties in the Potomac. She criticized former President Donald Trump for allegedly "blaming white women and minorities for the deadly crash under the guise of DEI." "While human bodies are still being pulled from the Potomac, Donald Trump is blaming white women and minorities for the deadly crash under the guise of DEI."
Later that day, Wilson continued her critique by addressing Trump's remarks towards military personnel involved in aviation. She described his stance as unjustly targeting armed services personnel amid an ongoing investigation into an unprecedented crash. Additionally, she expressed disappointment with the White House's response to the situation, labeling it as lacking leadership. "Instead, he is lambasting armed services personnel, pilots and air traffic controllers for a crash that is unprecedented and is still under investigation. The response from the White House lacks leadership and is abysmal and sickening."
Shifting focus to community engagement, Wilson highlighted her participation in setting up an event featuring a football game between FAMU and Howard at the Orange Blossom Classic scheduled for Labor Day weekend. She conveyed enthusiasm about this event being memorable for all involved. "It’s on: FAMU vs. Howard at the Orange Blossom Classic! I was proud of join members of the community to set the stage for the big game on Labor Day weekend! It’s bound to be a day to remember."
