Sean Duffy Slams States For Not Enforcing English Proficiency For Truckers Before Florida Accident

Published | Video Starts at 02:06

I want to make a quick comment. We've all probably talked about this horrific accident in Florida, and I appreciate the help of Christy and Marco on this very issue. But In May, we said, listen, it's a safety issue if you can't proficiently speak the English language. And we gave states a little over a month to comply. Washington, California and New Mexico have refused to comply. (02:06–02:14)

CLAIM

Asserts that a safety rule was established in May regarding English proficiency.
