Sec. Duffy Blasts Democrats for Blocking JetBlue-Spirit Merger: ‘Massive Mistake’

RUSH EXCERPT:

DUFFY: "I’ll take your questions in a second, but I think it’s important to talk about why are we here today. There was a proposed merger between jetblue and spirit. And Joe Biden and Pete Buttigieg along with the Biden DoJ decided that they did not want that merger to take place. And at the time, the Biden and Buttigieg DoJ bragged and said as they canceled the option for this merger that this was a victory for U.S. travelers who deserve lower prices and better choices. Now, many at the time said this was a disaster. This merger should have been allowed. And this today would indicate this is not better for travelers are, this is not better for pricing, this is not better for competition. Actually, it’s worse.”
