They did that because I was an active member in a class action lawsuit that charged them with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation. They did that so that they could give my job and my preferred corner office to my Black subordinate which is exactly what they did. They did that to send a strong message to potential job applicants who share my demographics that GAO does not want you.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: In a tweet posted Friday, she claimed the pilot was a DEI hire who’d “failed multiple trainings” but been hired anyway because he or she had checked the right identity boxes. “Was the co-pilot a former flight attendant who was FIRED and then rehired through United’s DEI program despite being on a list to not return to United?” St. Clair wrote in her tweets. “Am I correct that this individual failed multiple trainings including simulator training? Am I also correct that United has covered up this DEI disaster and many others?” she added. In an additional tweet, she accused the co-pilot of also having possibly been a DEI hire. When billionaire Elon Musk noted that this puts a lot of lives at risk “if true,” Ashley responded: “Wish it wasn’t & far from the only instance. Lots of very concerning corners being cut with DEI at United…”)
