This isn’t DEI—it’s deadly short staffing.
NEW: An FAA report says one air traffic controller was working two positions during the crash. “The position configuration was not normal for the time of day and volume of traffic.”

Donold is blaming a plane crash that killed 67 people on “DEI” with zero evidence.
He is attempting to use racism to deflect from the fact it is HIS fault. He had just removed 100 FAA senior officials.
It’s been 11 days and there are 67 bodies in the Potomac in Washington DC because of him.
