Rep. Mark Green, currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing Tennessee's 7th district, has shared his thoughts on recent events through a series of tweets. His comments address a tragic incident, airspace management issues at Reagan National Airport, and his views on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) within the federal government.
On January 30, 2025, Rep. Green commented on a tragedy by stating that such incidents are often due to "multiple cascading errors." He emphasized the need to understand how the event occurred and discussed it further with America Newsroom. The full post can be found here.
Later that day, he reflected on his experience as a former flight surgeon in relation to the same tragedy. He attributed the issue to "airspace deconfliction" at Reagan National Airport and suggested that resolving this would require a "massive after-action review" with subsequent changes to prevent future occurrences.

In another tweet from January 30, 2025, Rep. Green expressed agreement with President Trump regarding DEI policies within the federal government. He described DEI as a "sickness" and advocated for a hiring system based solely on merit. This statement is accessible here.
