In the wake of a plane crash outside D.C., President Trump and his allies are attributing the incident to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives, a notion criticized for lacking evidence. While the exact cause of the crash remains undetermined, aviation experts point to an ongoing shortage of air traffic controllers as a significant safety concern, independent of DEI policies. Trump's remarks echo sentiments from other officials, raising questions about the implications of these initiatives on federal workforce quality and safety measures.
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy emphasized, 'We can only accept the best and the brightest in positions of safety that impact the lives of our loved ones, our family members.'
Despite the ongoing investigation, President Trump suggested that diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives contributed to the crash, implying a lower-quality federal workforce.
