Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy Puts Hillary Clinton in Her Place After She Criticizes DOGE

President Trump’s Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy just set Hillary Clinton straight after she attacked DOGE online.

It all started when Secretary Duffy posted about working with the DOGE team to upgrade U.S. aviation systems:

Big News – Talked to the DOGE team. They are going to plug in to help upgrade our aviation system.

It’s an incredible thing they’re doing, and we reported on all the details of that here:

INCREDIBLE: DOGE Team To Fix FAA, Making Rapid Improvements To Air Traffic Control System!

But, for whatever reason, it seems to trigger Hillary, who felt the need to respond by criticizing Elon Musk's team of young Gen Z staffers.

This was her response:

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? pic.twitter.com/l0fFTrYMG2

Sean Duffy responded, in kind, very politely by advising two-time failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton to "sit this one out."

Unfortunately, Hillary didn't take his advice, and doubled down, with this post:

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. pic.twitter.com/kxss1jPjgf

That's when Secretary Duffy let loose, calling out Hillary Clinton and pointing out the real reason she won't shut up about DOGE: because Elon Musk and his team of young prodigies are uncovering her "family's obscene grifting via USAID..."

Here's his full post:

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… https://t.co/WOI5K4242D

Transcript of Duffy's post here:

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.

Wow.

He really let her have it!

Now, you see why President Trump chose Sean Duffy for the role!

Take a look at these reactions:

🚨 LMAO! Trump Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy just ROASTED failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton

The New York Post commented:

He wants her to stay grounded.

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy got into it with former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, telling her to “sit this one out” after she needled him for touting plans to bring in the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to upgrade air traffic control systems.

“Big News – Talked to the DOGE team. They are going to plug in to help upgrade our aviation system,” Duffy, 53, had said in an X post Wednesday.

Clinton, 77, quickly dunked on the announcement, saying the DOGE team had “no relevant experience.”

“Most of them aren’t old enough to rent a car,” she wrote on X. “And you’re going to let them mess with airline safety that’s already deteriorated on your watch?”

Duffy then fired back and defended DOGE’s motley crew of bureaucrat busters.

“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,” Duffy shot back.

DOGE boss Elon Musk confirmed Wednesday that his team will hustle “to make rapid safety upgrades to the air traffic control system.”

On Saturday, the Federal Aviation Administration’s main warning system for pilots briefly suffered an outage, underscoring its troubles. A backup system was used in the interim before the main system was restored.
