Misinformation Surrounding the Identity of Black Hawk Helicopter Pilot Capt. Rebecca M. Lobach
The U.S. Army identified Capt. Rebecca M. Lobach as one of the Black Hawk helicopter pilots killed in a midair crash. Social media falsely identified her as a transgender woman or a former White House press aide. The crash, which killed 64 people, has been wrongly linked to diversity initiatives and Trump's executive orders. However, there is no evidence to support these claims.
