Sean Duffy Absolutely Torches Jake Tapper On DEI And The FAA

Posted • February 2, 2025: After the tragic mid-air collision between a Blackhawk helicopter and and American Airlines flight, a lot of people pointed to the previous administration's focus on DEI in the FAA as a possible cause, including President Trump. We don't know the cause yet, so we don't know if DEI was or wasn't a factor. But people have questions and legitimate concerns, and media were quick to attack Trump (it's what they do best) for attacking DEI. DEI prioritizes demographics over safety (and not just in air travel), people know this, and we want answers and reform. Media don't care to ask those hard questions, though. They'd rather attack Trump. Here's Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy going toe-to-toe with Jake Tapper after Tapper tried to trap him with a 'gotcha' question. Sean Duffy just TORCHED Jake Tapper after he tried to trap him with a trick question.

Tapper: "Is there any specific evidence that backs up President Trump's claims that DEI or FAA hiring practices are responsible in any way for this tragedy?" -- Duffy: "I do know that in the last administration, they were focused not on safety, but they were focused on changing the name from cockpit to flight deck or notice to airmen. They want to change it to notice to air mission." - "They focused on EVs and sustainability and racist roads, things that don‘t matter in regard to safety." - "Our mission since the start has been safety, and they‘ve lost that mission. We see when you don‘t focus on safety and you focus on social justice or the environment, bad things happen." -- Thank you! Duffy was sworn in just last week, and he's been doing stellar work (a VAST improvement over the last guy). The most critical point Sean Duffy made that should frighten everyone “the FAA was the only office in the DOT that had a DEIA office”.

The one office that should’ve been solely focused on qualifications. Lives are at stake and the Left decides that's where they want to virtue signal and focus on 'diversity.' It has to stop. (…)
