From the Daily Caller: President Donald Trump’s Department of Transportation (DOT) has purged 3,200 grants, left behind by President Joe Biden, of various social justice and Diversity, Equity and Inclusion initiatives, while clearing a backlog of funding to kickstart infrastructure projects, the Daily Caller has learned.

The DOT is planning to announce Tuesday that they have awarded 180 of the 3,200 infrastructure grants that were previously backlogged under the Biden administration, according to materials shared with the Caller. The grants were previously under review by the department for social justice, DEI and Green New Deal initiatives, the Caller previously reported. With the Department’s Tuesday action, some of the 3,200 grants backlogged, totaling more than $3.2 billion, have been awarded for various projects but stripped of any social justice, DEI and Green New Deal elements, according to materials shared with the Caller.

“America is building again. At the Department of Transportation, that means getting back to basics: Building More, Building Efficiently and Building Quickly. The last administration liked to grab the headlines but didn’t want to do the hard work of building,” Transportation Secretary Sean P. Duffy said in a statement shared with the Caller.

“They also tied road construction up with red tape and leftist social requirements – adding millions in costs and months of delay – all while our outdated infrastructure sat in disrepair. This administration has a different vision: drain the swamp and make government work for the American people,” he continued.

The report explains that the Biden administration had inserted stipulations calling for a “racial equity impact analysis” or an “equity and inclusion program/plan” into every project.

A Biden administration memo on reviewing the grants read, “All competitive grant and cooperative agreement award selections must comply with current Administration priorities and Executive Orders (EO) that address energy, climate change, diversity and gender, and economic analysis, and other priorities.”

The Trump administration is now ripping all that woke language OUT.

Speaking to reporters outside the White House on Tuesday, Sec. Duffy ripped into the former Biden administration for failing to address all the warning signs about the air traffic control system.

“Biden and Buttigieg celebrated their infrastructure bill. 1.2 TRILLION dollars. The largest infrastructure package known to man. They claimed it was going to change America. They spent less than 1 percent of the money on fixing our air traffic control system. They ignored the warnings. Instead, they spent their time injecting social justice and climate equity crap into everything,” Duffy declared.

In another post on Tuesday, a furious Duffy wrote:

“Celebrating Transit Equity Day. Chairing the Equity Council. Stopping racist roads. Building bike paths. Funding studies on gender non-conforming people. This is the crap Pete Buttigieg focused on instead of fixing the problems with Newark and our entire air traffic control system.

“Buttigieg and Biden didn’t lift a finger to fix our air traffic control system. They knew about this mess, but they were too busy celebrating equity and the green new deal. Buttigieg put lives in danger. We’ve got a plan to fix it.”
