Greg Gutfeld Says DEI Is a Political Albatross for Democrats

Greg Gutfeld is one of the most popular hosts on Fox News because of his ability to use humor to deliver a unique take on the news.

But there is nothing funny about this for the left.

And Greg Gutfeld dropped a truth bomb that hit Democrats like a ton of bricks.

As American Patriot Daily reports:

The horrific mid-air collision between an Army Black Hawk helicopter and an American Airlines flight over Washington left 67 dead with no survivors.

Americans immediately wanted answers.

Donald Trump and others wondered if DEI programs left air traffic controllers short of the best people.

On “The Five,” Greg Gutfeld explained that Democrats went all-in on DEI programs over the last four years at every level of American society.

That’s why, any time a tragedy occurred involving a preventable error, Americans are naturally going to wonder if the Democrat Party’s DEI programs put people in positions they weren’t qualified to fill because of their race or gender.

“Could I? You know, in a way, DEI is the mirror to the Democrat’s argument with racism or climate change. It can be used to explain everything. You know, except unlike racism and climate change, which the left found under every rock, every issue, DEI is indeed under every rock, because the Democrats put it there,” Gutfeld stated.

Gutfeld said air traffic controllers were one area where the left claims systemic racism shut out women and minorities.

“In fact, you boasted about it. So it’s nobody’s fault if they are suspicious that it might do damage. Because we were told how great it was, and then we learned that it was discriminatory, and it’s not our fault to wonder, is this playing a role in a lot of the problems that we were seeing in, whether it was airplane parts or anything or the entertainment industry, we saw problems, and we’re going like, well, this seems to be everywhere. We were told that,” Gutfeld added.

And in 2013, Barack Obama’s FAA Administrator Michael Huerta imposed a DEI-like program that created a shortage of air traffic controllers.

On the night of the crash, The New York Times reported the air traffic control towers at Reagan National Airport were short-staffed.

Gutfeld admitted DEI may have nothing to do with this crash.

But because of the left’s obsession with race and gender, any time a tragedy struck the nation, Americans’ first thought would be to wonder if DEI played a role in making the disaster more likely to occur.

“So, I think the suspicion is fair. It may not be right. This could have been human error. This could have been a malfunction, but the suspicion is always going to be there because it was placed there by your clan, your evil clan,” Gutfeld explained.
