Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy got booed in California on Thursday morning when he attacked the high-speed rail project that Californians have wanted for decades.

Duffy attacked the project as wasteful spending and said it was headed toward a “compliance review."

“President Trump has thought about this project, he’s talked about this project, and I think he was kind when he said that this project has been mismanaged,” Duffy told reporters.

A video of the conference showed jeers under Duffy's comments. Initial boos were replaced by chants of “Build the rail! Build the rail!”

At another point, the crowd chanted, “We pay taxes, we want trains!”

Duffy yelled at the crowd that they should be complaining to Gov. Gavin Newsome and the Democratic legislature.
