Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy keeps going on TV and insisting it’s safe to fly in and out of Newark Liberty Airport in New Jersey, despite a string of extremely frightening outages and workforce shortages recently. But Duffy has now admitted he changed a flight booked for his wife on Monday so that she wouldn’t have to travel through Newark.

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy detailed his plan to update Newark Liberty International Airport‘s infrastructure to address recent outages, blaming the Biden administration for the current problems.

NBC’s Kristen Welker grilled Sean Duffy on the repeated air traffic control outages at Newark Liberty Airport and the transportation secretary didn’t seem convinced that his agency has a handle on the ongoing crisis.
