Department of Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy has fired right back, after former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton criticized his decisions, just days after he was sworn into office.
Clinton was defeated by Donald Trump in the 2016 presidential election.
Also, during Clinton’s time as Secretary of State, four Americans were killed in the 2012 terror attack in Benghazi, Libya.
But now, Clinton is raging against Duffy after he announced that he has arranged for the Department of Government Efficiency to help upgrade the aviation system.
Duffy announced on X Wednesday, “Big News – Talked to the DOGE team. They are going to plug in to help upgrade our aviation system.”

Clinton retorted, “They have no relevant experience. Most of them aren’t old enough to rent a car. And you’re going to let them mess with airline safety that’s already deteriorated on your watch?”

Duffy fired back, “Madam Secretary, with all due respect, “experienced” Washington bureaucrats are the reason our nation’s infrastructure is crumbling. You need to sit this one out.”

Defiantly, Clinton hit Duffy again Thursday morning, and brazenly tried to blame the two plane crashes last week on Duffy and the Trump administration.
“US airlines had gone 16 years without fatal crashes. Then MAGA fired the FAA chief, gutted the Aviation Security Advisory Committee, and threatened air traffic controllers with layoffs. Now there have been two fatal crashes. Hope your unvetted 22-year-olds fix things fast,” she sneered.
IMPORTANT NOTE: No one threatened air traffic controllers with layoffs, contrary to Clinton’s claim.
Clinton disabled comments on her post.

Duffy then unleashed on Clinton later Thursday morning, in a blistering response. He wrote:
I know you’re lashing out because DOGE is uncovering your family’s obscene grifting via USAID, but I won’t let you lie and distort facts. The FAA administrator announced he resigned over a month before Trump took office, and the air traffic controllers were always exempt from Trump’s civil service buyouts.
The previous administration shamelessly used USDOT as a slush fund for the Green New Scam, throwing away money and resources on wasteful environmental and social justice projects rather than updating our nation’s antiquated air traffic control systems and other critical infrastructure.
I’m returning this department to its mission of safety by using innovative technology in transportation and infrastructure. Your team had its chance and failed. We’re moving on without you because the American people want us to make America’s transportation system great again. And yes, we’re bringing the 22-year-olds with us.

Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) also shredded Clinton in a post on X.
“Hillary Clinton is vile. Everything she says here is deliberate effort to mislead and stoke division over a terrible aviation accident. The FAA chief is a politically appointed position and they resigned during the transition, as is customary,” Tillis wrote.

Many social media users are blasting Clinton for turning off the comments to her post.
Another pointed out that those 22-year-olds she is mocking are old enough to go to war and fight for the country.
Yet others are pointing out that many of those at the FAA were hired during the Biden administration.
Another X user shelled out the ‘receipts:’
Cool story babe, allow me to tell another one. During the Clinton administration:
1994, USAir flight crashed while attempting to land in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, killing 132 people.
1996 Trans World airlines flight crashes into the Atlantic killing 230 people, the 3rd worst air disaster in US history.
Maybe if your husband wasn’t busy having affairs with younger women in the Oval Office none of that would have happened. See how that works, you dumb bitch?
