Duffy clashes with Democrats over DEI funding cuts, denies air traffic controllers let go
Fox News
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy sparred with Democrats on Wednesday, slamming Biden-era climate and social justice grants while also denying claims 400 air traffic controllers were let go.
"Our department, over the course of the last hundred days, has saved taxpayers roughly $9.5 billion," Duffy said in his opening statement. "Those savings include monies pulled from projects tied to social justice to climate requirements, also boondoggle projects, as well as bringing efficiencies to the department."
