Hillary Clinton Meddles in Aviation Reform, Duffy Humiliates Her with a Brutal Clap Back

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy didn’t hold back after Hillary Clinton took a swipe at his latest initiative.

As reported by Fox News, Duffy, who recently announced the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) would spearhead much-needed upgrades to the nation’s crumbling aviation system, had some sharp words for the failed 2016 presidential candidate when she decided to weigh in.

“Big News – Talked to the DOGE team. They are going to plug in to help upgrade our aviation system,” Duffy posted on X.

Dennis Quaid’s #1 Warning for Americans

That simple announcement was apparently too much for Clinton, who felt the need to question the credibility of DOGE’s team. She fired off a snarky 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?”

Duffy wasted no time clapping back.

“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,” he shot back, delivering a reality check that most Americans already understand.

Duffy’s announcement drew support from none other than Elon Musk, who is leading DOGE’s mission to cut through government inefficiency and implement real change.

Musk emphasized the urgency of the situation, noting that safety improvements can’t wait.

“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 a user pointing out that GPS-based air traffic control should have been standard decades ago, Musk agreed, making it clear that the current outdated system is long overdue for a replacement.

The debate over air traffic control comes amid alarming aviation mishaps.

Last week alone, the nation saw two deadly incidents, including a tragic mid-air collision near Washington, D.C., involving a military helicopter and a passenger jet claiming 67 lives, and a Learjet 55 medevac crash in Philadelphia that claimed at least 7 lives.

As airline safety becomes a growing concern, Duffy and Musk are pushing for fast-tracked reforms. Meanwhile, Clinton and the usual Washington elites seem more interested in protecting bureaucratic inefficiency than actually fixing problems.

Maybe that’s why Duffy’s advice to Clinton was so fitting—after decades of failure from career politicians, maybe it’s time they finally “sit this one out.”
