- Summary: «This shocking event follows problematic and likely illegal decisions during the Obama and Biden Administrations that minimized merit and competence in the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The Obama Administration implemented a biographical questionnaire at the FAA to shift the hiring focus away from objective aptitude. During my first term, my Administration raised standards to achieve the highest standards of safety and excellence. But the Biden Administration egregiously rejected merit-based hiring, requiring all executive departments and agencies to implement dangerous "diversity equity and inclusion tactics, and specifically recruiting individuals with "severe intellectual" disabilities in the FAA.» Parts of this are clearly lies, while others are just misleading. It would seem to be a follow-up to comments apparently made to reporters after the crash.
