The President further stated that his administration prioritizes safety, whereas the previous administration focused on diversity and inclusion programs.

    1. Diversity is integral to achieving FAA's mission of ensuring safe and efficient travel across our nation and beyond.

    1. Please say a prayer for everyone involved in the mid-air collision near Reagan airport this evening. We're monitoring the situation, but for now let's hope for the best.

    1. They actually came out with a directive: 'too white.' And we want the people that are competent.
    2. We want brilliant people doing this. This is a major chess game at the highest level, when you have 60 planes coming in during a short period of time.
    3. I put safety first. Obama, Biden and the Democrats put policy first.
    4. The FAA is actively recruiting workers who suffer severe intellectual disabilities, psychiatric problems and other mental and physical conditions under a diversity and inclusion hiring initiative spelled out on the agency's website.
    5. I have been fully briefed on the terrible accident which just took place at Reagan National Airport. May God bless their souls. Thank you for the incredible work being done by our first responders. I am monitoring the situation and will provide more details as they arise.
    6. I have common sense, okay? And unfortunately, a lot of people don't.
    7. They have to be talented, naturally talented geniuses. You can't have regular people doing their job.

    1. President Obama made diversity a hallmark of his administration and at the FAA, we're working hard to do our part. This year, more than 13 per cent of our permanent new hires are African-American, compared with about 10 per cent in 2012. This is a better record than the civilian labour force.
