Secretary Duffy RIPS Buttigieg, Drops Receipts After Alarming Radar Outage at Newark Airport (VIDEO)
• The Gateway PunditTransportation Secretary Sean Duffy ripped Joe Biden and Pete Buttigieg after an alarming radar outage at Newark Airport.
United Airlines pulled 35 round-trip flights a day following a radar outage at Newark Liberty International Airport in New Jersey last week.
Last Monday air traffic controllers lost communication with planes flying in and out of Newark for about 90 seconds.
National Air Traffic Controllers Association told Bloomberg News that Newark "temporarily lost radar and communications with the aircraft under their control, unable to see, hear, or talk to them."
Buttigieg & Biden knew the air traffic control system was antiquated. They saw the government watchdog reports warning the system was aging.

What did they do? Nothing! Instead they spent their time focused on changing the name of "cockpit" to "flight deck." pic.twitter.com/QaNtYvaCCl
