The intelligent response would be "probably not, but we'll see what the investigation says".
But imagine if the tables were turned politically. Fox News would be going off 24/7 about "DEI" or some such for weeks on end. That strategy seems to be successful, so I would expect the other side to start employing it more as well.
Having a bunch of harried, overworked people stressed about their jobs and the future certainly doesn't help anything, in any case.
Yep, I should have expected it honestly. This is a pretty great opening for an aspiring Democratic leader right now, there are no sacred topics for political clout anymore.
RW media and the POTUS himself is making the dubious claim that DEI practices are responsible for low standards of hiring for air traffic controllers in the FAA during the Biden presidency.
I don't think POTUS was serious because he also claimed people shouldn't be hesitant to fly.
'He is later asked by a reporter if people should be hesitant to fly, and he says: "No, not at all."'
It results in more questions than answers. Like why was the impact of DEI on ATC competence overlooked by the Commander-in-Chief and DOD when training mission in DC airspace began?
