Andy Ogles Asks If DEI Played A Role In Tragic DC Plane Crash - www.huffpost.c...
"WASHINGTON ― Rep. Andy Ogles (R-Tenn.) was the first Republican to suggest Thursday that a fatal crash could have been caused partly by DEI, or diversity, equity and inclusion in government hiring.
“I think you have to look at this with eyes wide open, see what happened,” Ogles said on Fox Business. “Human error. Was it some sort of equipment failure? Did DEI play a role in this type of thing?”
Later on Thursday, President Donald Trump also suggested DEI had somehow played a role in the crash. When a reporter asked for evidence he had that hiring played a role in the crash, Trump provided none."

Have faith, sir. Some of us haven't lost hope. He is just throwing things at the wall to see what sticks, but it seems there are cooler heads that will check his outrageous rhetoric. A republican judge paused the birthright citizenship order he signed and told his lawyers that it was the most unconstitutional thing he had ever seen in his entire career, that same judge also put a restraining order on the federal funds being frozen, twice. We are not going to let this country fall without a fight. The chairman of the Federal Reserve also gave him a loss.

This is a disgusting response to a tragedy - both by Trump and by his sycophants. Air traffic controllers are professionals and only the best are chosen. How dare anyone exploit both the integrity of air traffic controllers and the human lives that this tragedy has affected.

[@Red_Oliver]

1:15 No John, this time they are blaming the handicapped. FAA has a policy of hiring the physically and mentally disabled to work at jobs within airports, and this policy is what is being attacked as being responsible, it's as if they think the FAA is hiring disabled people to fly planes and be ATCs and not that they are being hired as baggage handlers, concession workers, cleaning staff etc. So now DEI includes non-white people, trans people, women of any color, and the disabled. None of which could possibly do their job better than an average white man so we are told.

I applaud you guys for openly admitting that DEI=Black people and more specifically black men. But hey,, we’re use to it. Or as we say. Its always Jermaine’s fault…🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️. But Charlie kirk telegraphed this is what there were gonna do when he talked about the black pilot. CRT ran out of steam so they started using DEI.

[@williamgiven7892]

It really is like watching a snake eating its' own tail. Repulsive but impossible to look away.

[@A1SMOOTH]

DEI hire isn’t just black and LGTBQ. Most people get definition wrong. Definition of DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion): Diversity: The presence of differences within a given setting, including but not limited to race, ethnicity, gender, age, disability, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, education, religion, and other identity factors. Equity: The practice of ensuring fair treatment, access, opportunities, and advancement for all individuals while actively working to eliminate barriers that have historically disadvantaged certain groups. Inclusion: The process of creating a workplace or environment where all individuals feel welcomed, valued, respected, and empowered to fully participate and contribute. DEI initiatives aim to foster a culture where everyone, regardless of background, has the opportunity to succeed and feel a sense of belonging. Also could include people to old and disabilities and also women of any color including white. Could even include maga person who’s disabled older veteran is a DEI hire. I bet Trump will include liberals also with the loyalty test as DEI hires.

What about the effect of anti dei, resulting in "white preference" keeping a more qualified person out of a job? Isnt that arguement just as valid?

[@MegajasmineR]

Reminder DEI also protects all women, including white women in the workplace. For many years women were paid less than a man doing the same job. DEI helps to ensure that all groups of people get equal treatment.

[@lonnierichter6962]

As a conservative, I am with you, find the facts, and then go from there. If there is someone who is responsible and it is proven they are responsible, then whoever it is or was needs to be held accountable and responsible. Pointing fingers before anyone even knows what happen makes it bad. Let's find out what happen before we start to blame people. This claiming and blaming without probable cause just makes whoever is blaming someone without the facts and evidence look bad.

[@susanroutt6690]

Trump is the one who jumped the gun and blamed DEI. We know nothing about the flight crews or air traffic controllers. I’m curious, do you think Trump is a conservative?

When I saw him say DEI it upset me so much. I agree it's sickening. So many people are feeling safe if they are not immigrants.
