Buttigieg Calls Duffy's Road-Trip Series an 'Embarrassment'
Buttigieg called the five-part series an embarrassment as critics questioned whether sponsors paid for access to a sitting Cabinet secretary.
- Former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg called Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy's five-part YouTube series an 'embarrassment to the Trump administration' during a Sunday CNN interview, criticizing the reality show while Americans face rising fuel costs.
- Duffy is filming 'The Great American Road Trip,' a five-part YouTube series documenting his seven-month journey across the country with his wife, Rachel Campos-Duffy, and their nine children.
- Buttigieg argued that celebrating a road trip while diesel and gasoline prices soar is 'exactly what people are so frustrated about,' noting many Americans cannot afford travel amid fuel costs.
- Politico reported on Saturday that an unnamed travel company declined to sponsor the project over concerns the arrangement resembled 'paying for access' to a sitting Cabinet secretary.
- Buttigieg cited the Federal Aviation Administration's recent hiring cuts for air traffic controllers as evidence the administration's priorities are misaligned with safe, affordable transportation needs.
