Donald Trump Goes On Rant About DEI In Response To DC Plane Crash
HuffPost
The president also blamed the Biden and Obama administrations for the overnight plane crash in Washington, D.C., where there have been no reported survivors.
President Donald Trump held a press conference on Thursday in which he blamed the deadly overnight plane crash in Washington, D.C., on – bizarrely – diversity, equity and inclusion efforts.
On Wednesday night, a passenger plane coming from Kansas crashed with a military helicopter near the domestic airport in D.C., leaving no survivors. Despite the investigation having just launched, Trump said that DEI hiring practices “could have” caused the crash.
“I’m not blaming the controller,” he said. “I’m saying there are things you could question.”
The president also went after the Biden and Obama administrations, accusing them of prioritizing DEI hiring practices instead of Federal Aviation Administration safety. The blame then turned to labeling air traffic controllers as incompetent and mentally incapable of doing their jobs.
“We have a high standard. We’ve had a higher, much higher standard than anybody else. And there are things where you have to go by brain power,” Trump said.
