Congressional Black Caucus Chair Yvette Clarke has accused President Donald Trump of attempting to remove non-White employees from the federal government. Clarke made these statements during a press conference in Brooklyn, New York, where she criticized Trump's response to a recent tragic midair collision in Washington, D.C.
During his press conference on the incident, Trump raised questions about diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts possibly playing a role in the crash. He mentioned the importance of selecting individuals based on intelligence and psychological qualities, insinuating that DEI policies may have impacted hiring standards.
