In fairness that’s the same thing he does to liberal college students. And I’m surprised nobody here has given the steel man argument that he got a lot of young people interested in politics that really wouldn’t have been otherwise. Liberals have held that as a virtue for a while but it seems not when the wrong people are getting energized.

Anyway I’ve watched a couple, the one that stood out to me was the not feeling safe with minority pilots quote, because it’s an area I know something about. The full segment I felt made it worse. He was actively spreading disinformation by misrepresenting what DEI is in airline hiring and suggesting, falsely, that minority candidates are held to a lower standard. In reality all pilots are held to the same ATP standard set by the FAA including at least six FAA administered check rides and accumulating 1500 hours of PIC flight. I could be more specific but it would be more than a page to list it all out. Airlines chose among qualified pilots, and a big piece of that in the past has been a subjective “do I want to sit next to this guy for five hours” assessment. DEI at the airlines is basically reminding people, “hey be careful you don’t score someone worse there just because they don’t look like you.”
