Sean Duffy: "Pete Buttigieg was running for president as opposed to doing his job and making sure that we got our air traffic control system modernized."
(Pete Buttigieg ran for president in 2020. He became transportation secretary in 2021.)

Either is equally possible, that's the sad part.

Lying Duffy "forgets" that DOGE & Elon cut Air Traffic controller jobs, airplane maintenance, airplane inspections to "save money."
But Biden did spend $1 billion from Infrastructure bill on updates. This was to be a 5 yr process due to complexity. TRUMP CUT OFF ALLOCATED FUNDING, not Buttigieg

Sean Duffy has spent the bulk of his time at DOT doing on Fox News lying about Pete Buttigieg and claiming there was no focus on ATC hiring during his tenure.
A report from his own department confirms hes a liar. Buttigieg turned around hiring after decades of losses
