Donald Trump claimed, without citing evidence, that DEI initiatives at the FAA were partly to blame for the tragic plane and helicopter collision in D.C.

The article from ABC News discusses former President Donald Trump's comments on the recent FAA system outage, where he suggested that the incident could be attributed to the Biden administration's focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives rather than on merit-based hiring. Trump, speaking at a campaign event in South Carolina, criticized the administration for what he perceives as prioritizing DEI over competence, claiming that such policies could lead to inefficiencies and failures in critical systems like air traffic control. He did not provide evidence linking DEI initiatives directly to the FAA's technical issues but used the event to critique broader policies of the current administration. The article also notes that the FAA has been dealing with aging technology and understaffing, issues that predate the current administration's DEI efforts.
