[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] California Governor Gavin Newsom has slammed Donald Trump as travelers in Los Angeles brace for chaos and major delays to flights due to the government shutdown.
The Federal Aviation Authority on Monday warned air traffic control towers at Hollywood Burbank Airport would be unmanned until at least 10pm local time.
Newsom blamed the lack of staffing on the government shutdown and hammered Trump on X.
'Thanks, @realDonaldTrump! Burbank Airport has ZERO air traffic controllers from 4:15pm to 10pm today because of YOUR government shutdown,' the California governor wrote.
The White House, when asked for comment by The Daily Mail, sent an automatic reply putting responsibility for the shutdown on Democrats.
'Due to staff shortages resulting from the Democrat Shutdown, the typical 24/7 monitoring of this press inbox may experience delays,' it read.
'As you await a response, please remember this could have been avoided if the Democrats voted for the clean Continuing Resolution to keep the government open.'
Without on-site air traffic controllers, the airport's arrivals and departures will be managed by TRACON, a team working out of San Diego which already handles much of Burbank's traffic. |
