Hillary Clinton slammed by U.S. transportation secretary in heated exchange over aviation safety

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton came under fire from U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy on Wednesday after she blamed the Trump administration’s policies for recent fatal airline crashes.

Clinton, in a post on social media, suggested that “MAGA” policies were responsible for the first U.S. airline fatalities in 16 years, accusing the previous administration of firing the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) chief, weakening aviation security oversight, and threatening air traffic controllers with layoffs.

“Hope your unvetted 22-year-olds fix things fast,” Clinton wrote, referring to the Department of Government Efficiency’s (DOGE) controversial hiring practices that have been criticized for placing young, inexperienced individuals in key government positions.

Duffy, who was appointed by President Trump, fired back, accusing Clinton of distorting facts and deflecting from DOGE’s investigations into alleged financial misconduct involving USAID funding.

“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,” Duffy wrote.

He pointed out that the FAA administrator resigned more than a month before Trump took office and that air traffic controllers were exempt from civil service buyouts.

Duffy also blamed the previous administration for mismanaging transportation funds, claiming they prioritized environmental and social justice initiatives over critical infrastructure and safety improvements.

“We’re moving on without you because the American people want us to make America’s transportation system great again,” Duffy added, defending his department’s approach to modernizing air travel.

The clash highlights ongoing tensions over the future of U.S. transportation policy and the role of DOGE in government oversight, as both sides continue to trade accusations over accountability and safety.
