'PALM BEACH, Florida – Vice President JD Vance is doubling down on President Donald's Trump's suggestion that woke hiring policies of the
Obama and Biden administrations may have been factors in the deadly
collision between an American Airlines flight and a military helicopter
that killed 67 people at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport last
week.
Appearing on "Sunday Morning Futures" with Maria Bartiromo, Vance
explained: "Here's the specific way in which I think the DEI policies of
the last administration, the Obama administration contributed to where
we are.
"We have a massive shortage of air-traffic controllers and, in fact,
there have been a number of lawsuits from people who would like to
become air-traffic controllers against the Obama and Biden
administration who basically said we were told not even to the apply
because of the color of our skin, because they were white people who
wanted to be air-traffic controllers, and under the DEI regime of the
Biden administration, they weren't welcome.
"What does that mean? Number one, it means we don't have the best and
the brightest sometimes in these positions. But even more importantly
than that, even when we do get really good people, they're going to be
way overstressed because they're working long hours, because air-traffic controllers are short staffed.
"And we have known going back years … I was on the Commerce Committee in the Senate. We knew for years that we had a shortage at air-traffic
control.
"Well, part of the reason why we had a shortage at air-traffic control
is because we were telling our air-traffic controllers not to hire
people because of the color of their skin. That is a scandal, and it is
a scandal, thankfully, that has stopped under the leadership of
President Trump.
"It's why I'm actually optimistic about aviation safety, but it's also
why we've had too many near misses and, unfortunately, a fatal crash
just a couple days ago."
Is the news we hear every day actually broadcasting messages from God?
The answer is an absolute yes! Find out how!
Bartiromo asked the vice president: "Do you have any if evidence that
any of those hires that were there at the control Wednesday night were
DEI hires?"
Vance replied: "The president's been very clear about, this is in the
saying that the person who was at the controls is a DEI hire, but let's
just say, first of all, we should investigate everything. But let's just
say the person at the controls didn't have enough staffing around him or
her because we were turning people away because of DEI reasons.
There is a very correct connection between the policies of the last administration and short-staffed air-traffic controllers. That has to
stop. And, by the way, it's so funny the me, the media has … picked up
on this. The president made very clear that he wasn't blaming anybody,
but he was being very explicit about the fact that DEI policies have led
our air-traffic controllers to be short staffed.
"That is a scandal. Thankfully, the it's a scandal that the president
has stopped."
Vance was also asked if he plans to run for president in 2028.
"We'll see what happens come 2028," he responded.
"The best thing for my future is actually the best thing for the
American people which is that we do a really good job over the next
three and a half years. So, we'll cross the political bridge when we
come to it.
"I'm not thinking about running for president. I'm thinking about doing
a good job for the American people and I think the best way to do that
is to make sure President Trump is a success.'

And as for funding, Biden planned on hiring 87,000 new IRS agents at a
cost of $ 45 billion dollars.
Why not hire ATC or other employees tasked with keeping people alive?
