President Trump held a press conference regarding an air crash that killed all 67 aboard, initially starting somberly. However, it quickly shifted to political blame towards former President Biden and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion policies. Fox News Senior White House correspondent Jacqui Heinrich highlighted the lack of evidence for Trump's claims, especially regarding hiring practices for disabled individuals in critical roles. Notably, 99.62% of disabled hires are for non-controller positions, which contradicts Trump's narrative as he sought to link policy to the tragic accident.
What began as a somber update quickly turned political. President Trump zeroed in on DEI hiring by previous democratic presidents.
Heinrich noted 99.62 percent were for jobs other than air traffic controller and that people with disabilities hired into mission-critical occupations must meet the same qualifications.
