White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt took the issue of whether DEI policy at the Federal Aviation Administration had anything to do with Wednesday’s fatal airline crash to its most basic denominator while speaking to reporters on Friday.
Leavitt was being forced to defend President Donald Trump’s claim that a lowering of air traffic controller standards under the Obama and Biden administrations may have been a contributing factor in the collision of American Airlines Flight 5342 with an Army Black Hawk helicopter in Washington, D.C., near Reagan National Airport.
Leavitt referenced a known fact: that many would-be air traffic controllers sued the Department of Transportation and the FAA in 2015 regarding the decision to add a biographical questionnaire to the application process, i.e., a DEI policy requirement.
