Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy ripped the Biden Regime after Spirit Airlines folded.
Spirit Airlines early Saturday morning went under and began winding down its operations after more than 33 years in business.
Spirit said all flights have been canceled and it is working to process refunds for customers.

The Biden Regime’s finest, Pete Buttigieg, boasted about supporting the DOJ’s lawsuit to block the Spirit-JetBlue merger back in 2023.
“Americans deserve robust competition & affordable airfares. USDOT supports DOJ’s antitrust lawsuit, & we plan to deny the JetBlue-Spirit request for an exemption on their merger deal. We will continue with our own investigation while supporting DOJ’s work,” the former small town mayor-turned-Transportation Secretary said in 2023.

Democrat Senator Elizabeth Warren also cheered the blocking of the Spirit-JetBlue merger.
I've warned for months that a@JetBlue–@SpiritAirlinesmerger would have led to fewer flights and higher fares.@JusticeATRand@USDOTwere right to stand up for consumers and fight against runaway airline consolidation.
