VP JD Vance on FlyDubai hijacking attempt
The argument hinges on VP JD Vance criticizing the authorization of an Omani co-pilot to fly a FlyDubai flight after the post claims that person attempted to crash the aircraft in a terror attack. Vance quotes historical knowledge indicating the individual was unsuitable for flying, referencing how we knew during 9-11 that specific guy was a problem before he ever got behind the wheel. The post asserts Democrats would open the floodgates for this kind of person to enter America if they re-take power in 2026 and 2028. That logic drives the conclusion that voting Republican is necessary to prevent this outcome from happening again. #JDVance #Flydubai

After that flight, Dubai flight had this horrific attempted hijacking happened on it. Do you have concerns that Iran was involved? Any updates on that? And do you also have concerns about foreign pilots coming to the U.S. and flying flights to the U.S.? Well, I think anytime you have any person coming from outside the United States, you've got to be extra careful that that person is actually one, a good human being, is going to contribute to American society. And of course, that's the story of the 9-11 terrorist attack, is that we brought a lot of people into the United States of America who shouldn't have been here and certainly shouldn't have been flying planes. I think the interesting thing about that story is we knew that guy was a problem, meaning not United States intelligence, but if you look historically, that person should not have been flying an airline. And so we're certainly looking at our procedures within the United States to make sure that people who are obviously flight risks are not getting behind the wheel of an airplane. But I feel good about what's going on in the United States of America. In terms of involvement with Iran. That's something I defer to John Ratcliffe and some of the intelligence folks on.
