Sen. Elizabeth Warren, in partnership with former Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg and President Joe Biden are the ones with Spirit Airlines’ blood on their hands after working tirelessly to block the merger of the budget airline with JetBlue.
...
Now that the company is dead, the hyper-progressive Democrat wants to complain about the lack of competition in the air travel industry.

Warren had previously touted the decision to kill the merger as a huge win for consumers and warned that the deal would’ve “led to fewer flights and higher fares.” The judge who was pressured into blocking the deal stated “to those dedicated customers of Spirit, this one’s for you” before immediately shooting the company dead with his decision.

Progs on FB are blaming Trump and the Iran War for Spirit's demise.

I agree with the substance of the article, but I wish they had talked more about why Spirit wanted the merger, which is that they were hemmorhaging money. It would have driven the point home even more.

And holy crap, what idiotic reasoning by the judge who blocked it.
