Since no citation was given, I went to the source, as usual. I’m purposely not going to post it here, since it obviously wasn’t important enough to warrant a citation from the OP. But what I found was that he wasn’t blaming this crash on DEI. As usual, the lying media tries to swamp it into something it isn’t.
What he was saying was that obviously someone dropped the ball somewhere along the way. He then went into a dissertation about the problems within the FAA. He mentioned that during Obama’s term, it was deemed that the FAA was “too white” so they purposely excluded whites from the job of Air Traffic Controller. He mentioned that when he took office in 2016 he looked at the criteria for being ATC and found it was not pushing competence or quality, but all sorts of other criteria. He implemented standards that pushed the brightest and the best. When Biden came in, he again ran the criteria back. What he found was that the current standards the FAA has for hiring ATCs includes: _ “actively recruiting workers who suffer severe intellectual disabilities, psychiatric problems.“_ He went on to point out: “Those disabilities at the federal government as a matter of policy, as identified for special emphasis in recruitment and hiring. The FAA website states they include hearing, vision, missing extremities, partial paralysis, complete paralysis, epilepsy, severe intellectual disability, psychiatric disability and dwarfism all qualify for the position of a controller,”
So apparently it is wrong somehow to want intelligent, sane, and qualified people as ATC as opposed to the DEI standards that say anyone, no matter how bad, qualifies.
But it gets even better! Despite the claims made that he is blaming DEI for the crash, he then went on to actually sound like he was blaming the helicopter. He talked at length about the visibility, the maneuverability of helicopters, etc. and was a by mystified why the helicopter seemed to turn too late and in the wrong direction. He even said that the tape of the tower said “You see him? Follow him in” He said the airliner wasn’t doing anything unusual, that it was following the course all of them follow and that the helicopter was the unusual thing. He did mention that the plane and the helicopter were at the same height which was unusual and someone should have noticed that and corrected for it. He said the investigation was underway and that it would give us the final verdict on what went wrong. He wasn’t blaming anyone, wasn’t identifying the cause…nothing.
So here we are, commenting on something the left wing media spouted. Let’s all believe the lie and then get incensed about it!
