At a House hearing this week, Duffy was in high dudgeon, discussing ties between Hillary Clinton and Boeing. “In ’09, Secretary Clinton . . . makes a shameless pitch in Russia that a Russian airline should buy Boeing airplanes,” he said. “I would like all airlines to buy our great American jets, but she’s making a pitch as the secretary of state! And then, um, in 2010, a short while later, actually Boeing gets the contract for $3.7 billion. And after that, it’s amazing: Boeing makes a $900 million contribution to the Clinton Foundation!”

“Thank you, Bill,” Duffy said, without correcting the record.
