"Chasten Buttigieg wrote on X. "The same Duffys who threw endless fits on national television when Pete was working from our son's ICU bedside are now bragging about their multi-month, taxpayer-funded family road trip while gas and grocery prices soar for American families," Chasten Buttigieg wrote on X. "How much more unfocused, unserious, and out of touch can you be?""
"Last Friday, the Duffys went on Fox News to announce that, to celebrate the country's 250th birthday, they had been traveling around the country for seven months, being filmed visiting various historic sites in what they called their "Great American Roadtrip." They also released the trailer for their show on Fox that morning."
"Many people online were quick to question how Secretary Duffy was able to take so much time off from his work to film a reality show. Some people also compared this to how the right lost its mind during the Biden administration when Pete Buttigieg took a couple of months of parental leave - during which he still worked - to take care of his newborn children when they were in intensive care."
Sean Duffy and Rachel Campos-Duffy announced on Fox News that they spent seven months filming a reality show traveling across the country to celebrate the nation’s 250th birthday. They described the project as a “Great American Roadtrip” and released a trailer. Online commenters questioned how Duffy could take that much time away from his Transportation Department role. Comparisons were made to right-wing criticism of Pete Buttigieg’s parental leave during his children’s intensive care, even though he continued working. Chasten Buttigieg condemned the Duffys’ alleged hypocrisy, arguing they previously complained about Pete’s time away and now promoted a multi-month, taxpayer-funded family trip amid high gas and grocery prices.
