During a press conference, Mary Bruce confronted President Trump over his claims linking Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) policies to a recent air crash involving an American Airlines flight and a military helicopter. Trump had suggested a connection without offering evidence and admitted to speculating. Bruce pressed him for proof, challenging his assertions on DEI and qualifications for air traffic controllers, leading to a highlight of the simplistic nature of his accusations against Biden's administration regarding safety standards.
It just could have been. We have a higher standard. We've had a higher much higher standard than anybody else.
What evidence do you have? ... Are you saying this crash was somehow caused and the result of diversity hiring?
