Credit: C-SPAN 3 screenshotA New York Congressman was left stuttering when United States Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy delivered a fierce comeback during a fiery debate on crime in America’s most famous city.On Wednesday, Duffy testified before the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee on President Donald Trump’s 2026 budget request for his department. This followed President Trump appointing Duffy as interim NASA administrator in addition to his job as Transportation secretary, after the president withdrew his first nominee to head the space agency.Things quickly heated up when Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY) decided to assassinate Duffy’s character after the congressman proved unable to handle the truth about New York City’s crime rate.Nadler, for several minutes, decided to call Duffy a liar, particularly when it came to the assaults on NYC’s subway systems. He continuously cited questionable statistics to make it seem riders had nothing to fear while smearing Duffy after being corrected.“Secretary Duffy, as recently as last week, you again attacked the MTA (New York City’s Metropolitan Transportation Authority), claiming that there’s a surge in subway assaults, and accusing the agency of withholding information,” Nadler stated at one point. “But many of your statements misrepresent the facts and ignore documentation already provided to your department.”“First, are you aware that major crime in the transit system, including assaults, is down 3% since last year and down 8% since 2019?” he inquired.“Well, no, that’s wrong. The assaults that we’ve seen are up 60% with MTA in the systems since 2019,” Duffy replied.“Why do you continue to ignore this and lie about this in your public comments?” Nadler demanded.Duffy finally had had enough of Nadler’s garbage and surprised him with a big truth bomb.“Why do you continue to lie about people being lit on fire in subways or pushed in front of trains?” Duffy roared back. “You should be fighting to make sure your subways are safe.”The congressman had no good answer to this truth bomb and immediately ended the fight.“Our subways…Our subways are safe,” Nadler stammered. “Reclaiming my time.”WATCH:WATCH: @SecDuffy destroys Democrat Rep.

Just in the past two years, several innocent victims have been shot, assaulted, and even burned alive.No amount of lies can cover up what people across America see happening in the Big Apple. Kudos to Duffy for coming prepared to put Nadler in his place when he tried to gaslight the country.The post WATCH: Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy Levels Lying Democrat Rep.
