"When you're confirmed by the U.S. Senate, you're accepting a higher level of responsibility, a higher level of public service, and, frankly, you oughtta know that goes with some personal sacrifice. He added that Buttigieg "is not a middle manager at Dunder-Mifflin, Scranton PA, OK? He is the secretary of transportation.""
"CNN host Abby Phillip then asked Jennings how he could criticize Buttigieg while excusing Duffy. Jennings started to argue that Duffy worked during the seven-month filming of his reality show - Duffy has said that the show was filmed in spurts and wasn't a solid seven-month road trip like he initially described on Fox News - while Buttigieg didn't. The other pundits explained that Buttigieg also worked from the hospital during his leave."
"Jennings then brought up the 2021-2023 global supply chain crisis, saying that shipping containers were piling up in ports at the time. This was a real problem that experts largely attribute to COVID-19, which caused disruptions in manufacturing processes"
A conservative commentator faced questions after criticizing a transportation secretary’s time off while appearing to excuse another secretary’s extended absence. The criticism centered on two months of paternity leave taken in 2021 when newborn infants were in the ICU. A separate case involved a seven-month road trip for a reality show announced on Fox News. The commentator argued that the second secretary worked during filming, while the first did not, but other pundits noted that the first secretary also worked from the hospital. The commentator then cited the global supply chain crisis and port congestion during 2021 to justify the distinction, attributing disruptions largely to COVID-19.
