Plane crash in DC the fault of Obama, Biden, the Democrats and DEI

The Skies Aren’t Safe: How DEI Policies Are Compromising Air Traffic Control
However, beginning in the Obama era and accelerating under Biden, a seismic shift occurred: meritocracy was abandoned in favor of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) mandates.
The consequences of this shift are now coming home to roost. A decade of race-conscious hiring practices, prioritizing identity over expertise, has introduced a growing safety crisis in aviation. Near-miss incidents have surged, major airports have become the site of harrowing close calls, and controllers lacking the rigorous background once demanded are increasingly struggling under pressure. What began as a social experiment has now turned into a public safety hazard, and there is no indication that the turbulence will subside anytime soon.
Those crash victims were killed by affirmative action.
DEI Policies and the Rise in Near-Misses
Since these changes, reports of runway incursions, aborted takeoffs, and near-midair collisions have risen at an alarming rate. The year 2024 saw a record-breaking 1,100 runway near-miss incidents, many attributed to controller errors. A few of the most harrowing examples include:
October 2024: A Delta Air Lines Airbus A350 collided with an Endeavor Air CRJ-900 at Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson Airport, resulting in millions in damages and a full-scale NTSB investigation.
September 2024: An Alaska Airlines Boeing 737 MAX 9 was forced to abort takeoff in Nashville to avoid colliding with a Southwest 737 that was mistakenly cleared to cross the active runway.
December 2024: A Delta jet at LAX nearly struck a private aircraft due to a controller’s miscommunication, narrowly avoiding a tragic disaster.
These incidents are not just statistical outliers. They represent a troubling trend: a growing cohort of underqualified controllers, fast-tracked into roles they are ill-equipped to handle, is increasingly making costly, dangerous errors.
