'That is a scandal': JD Vance unloads on Obama and Biden's denial of white air-traffic controllers 'because of the color of their skin'
'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'

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.
