Our Transportation Secretary doesn't believe in public transportation

Sean Duffy on the federal effort to end congestion pricing in NYC: "The problem is you're taxing the average Joe out of driving the streets of New York. And the streets aren't just made for the rich... they're taking the money and putting it into the MTA, which is dirty and violent and crime-ridden"

Duffy: "If you're liberal, they want you to take public transportation ... the problem is that it's dirty. You have criminals. It's homeless shelters. It's insane asylums. It's a work ground for the criminal element of the city to prey upon the good people."

Duffy's an idiot. NY is putting the money brought in by congestion pricing into the MTA so it WON'T be dirty and unsafe.

1. We call Duffy

"Archie" from the comic books. He is such a simpleton.

2. "The criminal element", such as Manhattan GOP congressmen pardoned by Rapist Trump

Don't worry, you won't find Rapist Trump, or his buddies, on public transport.

4. Need a better comeback than that David.

Conservatives WANT the poor to have to use bad public transportation. They have the same philosophy about public education. Starve the beast and blame the libs.
