Sean Duffy tells Hillary Clinton to ‘sit this one out’ after she chimes in on his DOGE announcement

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy recently announced that the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) will be working on upgrading the aviation system. This comes after a series of fatal aviation incidents in the U.S. last week, including a collision between a military helicopter and a passenger jet near the Ronald Reagan Washington National airport (DCA) and a Learjet 55 medevac jet that crashed in Philadelphia, resulting in the deaths of at least seven people.

In a post on X, Duffy shared the news, stating, “Big News – Talked to the DOGE team. They are going to plug in to help upgrade our aviation system.” However, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton criticized the decision, questioning the team’s experience and expressing concern about airline safety.

Clinton tweeted, “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?”

In response, Duffy fired back at Clinton, stating, “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.” Business tycoon Elon Musk, who is leading the DOGE effort to uncover government waste, fraud, and abuse, expressed his support for the team’s efforts to implement safety upgrades to the air traffic control system.

“With the support of President @realDonaldTrump, the @DOGE team will aim to make rapid safety upgrades to the air traffic control system. Just a few days ago, the FAA’s primary aircraft safety notification system failed for several hours!” Musk stated in response to Duffy’s announcement.

The conversation also touched on the need for an automated air traffic system, with someone mentioning the development of a method for accurately navigating airlines by GPS 45 years ago. Musk agreed, emphasizing the importance of modernizing the air traffic control radar system.

The exchange highlights the ongoing efforts of the DOGE team to improve government efficiency and address critical issues such as aviation safety. As they work towards implementing necessary upgrades, the focus remains on ensuring the safety and security of the aviation system for all passengers and personnel involved.
