Sean Duffy faced criticism after describing critics of his corporate-sponsored family road trip as “miserable.” The trip lasted seven months and was presented as a reality show, announced on Fox News. Critics argued that Duffy and other Fox commentators were outraged when Pete Buttigieg took parental leave while working to care for newborn children in the NICU. Buttigieg later called Duffy’s road trip “brutally out of touch,” citing rising gas prices that may cause Americans to cancel summer vacations. Duffy responded by saying the “radical, miserable left” dislikes the trip because it is “too wholesome,” “too patriotic,” and “too joyful.”
"Duffy responded to his critics, saying that the "radical, miserable left" hates his road trip because it's "too wholesome," "too patriotic," and "too joyful.""
"Last week, Buttigieg called the road trip "brutally out of touch," considering rising gas prices mean many Americans will likely cancel their vacations this summer."
""I actually took a taxpayer-funded road trip lasting about 7 months. It was in Afghanistan." "This is something very different. This is not about patriotism. It is an embarrassment to have him going around saying that a road trip, quote, ' fits any budget ' at a time when more and more Americans cannot afford a road trip because of the explosion in diesel prices and gas prices caused directly by the Iran war.""
""To make roadtrips unaffordable and then go around celebrating your own road trip is exactly what people are so frustrated about.""
