BIDEN HAD PROMOTED BLACKS IN AVIATION QUALIFIED OR NOT

DEMOCRATS NOMINATE BLACKS IN AVIATION WHETHER QUALIFIED OR NOT. President Donald Trump on Thursday correctly noted that Democrats have long sought to lower standards for aviation professionals out of concern that the field is overwhelmingly white and male.

In 2023, President Joe Biden nominated a black man, Phil Washington, to oversee the Federal Aviation Administration despite Washington having little experience in the field. Washington had run Denver’s airport for two years in a job that largely revolved around managing the airport’s commercial space. He withdrew his nomination after he could not answer basic questions about flying in a Senate hearing, leading to bipartisan condemnation.
