Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer was blasted on social media and by the Trump administration for placing blame on Trump for a deadly Mexican Navy ship crash in New York City.

Authorities are investigating after a Mexican Navy ship crashed into the Brooklyn Bridge on May 17, leaving two dead and 19 injured. The Cuauhtémoc, a sail training vessel for the Mexican Navy, lost power before striking the bridge connecting the Brooklyn and Manhattan boroughs around 8:20 p.m. ET, New York City Mayor Eric Adams said.
