Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy joked that blocking the shutdown’s end should warrant a "no-fly list," blaming Senate Democrats for flight disruptions due to staffing shortages.
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy joked during a Breitbart-hosted event that Senate Democrats blocking the government shutdown's end should be added to a "no-fly list," urging them to stay in Washington.
He blamed the shutdown for flight disruptions due to staffing shortages at airports, citing reduced operations at major hubs like Atlanta, Chicago, and Dallas.
Duffy, referencing his 2018–19 shutdown experience, criticized Democrats for refusing to advance a House-passed continuing resolution, arguing it unfairly harms travelers and federal workers.
The standoff centers on disagreements over funding for domestic priorities and broader policy issues, with Republicans accusing Democrats of using the shutdown for leverage and Democrats saying the White House refuses to negotiate on key provisions like Affordable Care Act tax credits.
The lighthearted comment underscored growing frustration over the shutdown’s ongoing impact on public services and daily life.
El secretario de Transporte, Sean Duffy, bromeó diciendo que bloquear el cierre debería justificar una "lista de prohibición de vuelos", culpando a los demócratas del Senado por las interrupciones de vuelos debido a la escasez de personal.
