Trump Admin Exposes Bill, Hillary Clinton’s ‘Extreme Grifting’ Via USAID
A heated online exchange erupted between Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton regarding efforts by Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) leader Elon Musk to identify wasteful spending in U.S. aid programs and overhaul federal transportation systems.
The dispute began when Clinton criticized Duffy’s leadership, claiming that the Transportation Department had “deteriorated” under his watch and questioning the qualifications of Musk’s DOGE team to assist with an aviation system upgrade. “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?” she wrote in a Wednesday post on X.
Duffy fired back, asserting that entrenched Washington bureaucrats were the true cause of failing infrastructure. He defended Musk’s team, emphasizing that their innovative approach was key to modernizing aviation and transportation systems. He also accused Clinton and her family of financial misconduct uncovered through DOGE’s review of USAID spending.
“You need to sit this one out,” Duffy wrote, adding that his team was committed to restoring safety and efficiency in federal transportation. “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.”
The disagreement comes amid broader concerns about transportation safety, including recent aviation incidents involving Boeing aircraft and infrastructure mishaps like a major chemical spill in Ohio under the Biden-Harris administration.
Duffy’s confirmation hearing with the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation emphasized his commitment to improving aviation safety, restoring confidence in Boeing, and collaborating with the FAA to implement robust safety protocols.
