A near-certain Democratic presidential candidate’s time in the Biden regime is coming back to bite him following the worst airport crisis since 9/11.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) issued a nationwide ground stop on Friday afternoon due to Air Traffic Control communication issues.
The FAA ordered all US airports to ground stop. No flights were allowed to depart, but flights already in the air were allowed to land.
The ground stop was lifted hours later, but it has left about 1.5 million travelers stranded at airports.
USDOT Secretary Sean Duffy said there was inconsistency between radar data and communications with the planes. He also blamed “overloaded” and “outdated” systems for the ground stop.
While stranded in Denver, former USDOT Secretary Pete Buttigieg decided to hold a press conference on the situation.
He critiqued the Trump Administration’s response and patted himself on the back for how he handled the last ground stop, which occurred in January of 2023.
“We did a lot to upgrade the system,” Buttigieg claimed. “When we had an outage, I didn’t stand there complaining about the Trump administration. We got to work.”
“I’m certain that’s what career officials at FAA and USDOT are doing,” he added. “This should not be about politics.”

But in a surprise, long-time Democrat and Hollywood bigwig Ari Emanuel hit Buttigieg with a brutal reminder about his time ‘running’ America’s transportation department.
Emanuel noted that it was BUTTIGIEG who left this disastrous system in place despite receiving billions of taxpayer dollars to upgrade the FAA. Yet Buttigieg has the gall to pat himself on the back.
“No one’s hands are clean here,” Emanuel wrote. “However, Mr. Secretary Buttigieg, you had four years in the job and infrastructure money, yet made zero progress modernizing the FAA.”
“You left a failing system in place. THANKS!”
