Vance: Biden and Obama Administrations Told White People Don’t Bother Applying for Air Traffic Control Jobs
Tim Hains, RealClearPolitics, February 2, 2025
Vice President J.D. Vance told FNC’s “Sunday Morning Futures” how the “DEI regime of the Biden administration” created a shortage of air traffic controllers.
“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 administrations who basically said, we were told not even to 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.”
“Part of the reason why we have a shortage at air traffic control is because we were telling our air traffic controllers not to hire people because of the color of their skin. That is a scandal,” Vance said.
