Vice-president JD Vance was cornered on Fox News on Sunday after claiming that his Democratic predecessors ordered the Federal Aviation Administration “not to hire” whites.
Speaking with the host Maria Bartiromo during the broadcast of this weekend this weekend Sunday morning futureVance said that presidents Joe Biden and Barack Obama prevented white candidates from looking for air traffic controller jobs with the government.
“There have been a certain number of prosecution of people who wish to become air controllers against the Obama and Biden administration, who essentially said:` `We were told not to even apply because of the color of Our skin ” because they were white people. “
He added: “In the Biden administration’s DEI regime, they were not welcome. This means that we do not have the best and the most brilliant sometimes in these positions. »»
Vance echoed the claims of his boss Donald Trump and other Republicans that Dei’s hiring practices were ultimately responsible for the tragic plane crash that made DC 67 lives last week.
But Bartiromo jumped, noting: “We had known for years that we had a shortage of air traffic control.”
Vance then continued: “Well, part of the reason why we had a shortage in air traffic control is because we were telling our air traffic controllers not to hire people due to color of their skin. It is a scandal. And it is a scandal, fortunately, which stopped under the direction of Donald Trump. »»
Unfortunately for Vance, Bartiromo then supported him more on his assertions, asking: “Do you have evidence that one of these hires which were there at the control on Wednesday evening were hires of Dei.”
He didn’t do it. “This does not say that the person who was in charge is a dei rental, but let’s just say, first of all, we should investigate,” he said, adding: “There is a very direct link between Policy of the last administration and short -term air traffic controllers.
