GOP Rep On Fox: Maybe DEI Was Cause Of DC Crash

The Huffington Post reports:

Rep. Andy Ogles (R-Tenn.) suggested Thursday that a fatal crash could have been caused partly by DEI, or diversity, equity and inclusion in government hiring.

“I think you have to look at this with eyes wide open, see what happened,” Ogles said on Fox News. “Human error. Was it some sort of equipment failure? Did DEI play a role in this type of thing?”

A commercial airliner collided with an Army helicopter on Wednesday night in the busy airspace near Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport. Officials said there are likely no survivors, making it the deadliest plane crash in the U.S. since 2009.

Read the full article. Shortly after being elected, Ogles was exposed for having lied about his education and work experience. He is currently under investigation for allegedly faking a $320,000 loan to his campaign and last year the FBI seized his phone as part of the probe. Also last year George Santos pleaded guilty to “submitting fake loan information to the FEC to inflate his campaign’s financial position.” Santos and Ogles allegedly shared the same campaign treasurer.
