During Thursday night’s Hannity, Fox News host Sean Hannity exposed recent hiring practices that indicate DEI initiatives were prioritized by the FAA over merit-based hiring.
Hannity’s analysis comes in the wake of the horrific mid-air collision between an American Airlines flight and a Black Hawk helicopter in Washington, D.C., that killed everyone involved — more than 60 casualties.
“Americans are searching for answers — which they should,” Hannity said. “At this hour, I wish I had all the answers — I don’t. But we are gleaning information that is quite alarming. According to a report from John Solomon at JustTheNews.com, last night’s mid-air collision was preceded by months and years of near misses and safety warnings.”
“An expert report sent to the FAA under Biden warned that ‘America’s air traffic control system is suffering from quality control issues and staffing shortages that put safety at risk’ — they were warned,” Hannity said.
“It is no secret that across the entire Biden Administration, DEI was prioritized over merit. But it didn’t start with Biden. Under Obama, the FAA launched a national outreach program for diversity and inclusion. This included a push to hire workers with severe disabilities and psychiatric problems — that makes no sense!”
“A 2024 lawsuit also alleged that the FAA turned away nearly a thousand applicants based solely on their race.”
“For years, Democrats were playing woke politics with our lives,” Hannity added.
“We don’t know how last night’s crash occurred — we’re being very clear about that. But one thing is clear: sirens have been blaring the last number of years. And under Biden and Pothole Pete and Kamala Harris, every warning sign was clearly ignored. In all areas of government, meritocracy much return throughout the land in ever regard.”
