"Filming a show for TV! Because of course! Dubbed The Great American Road Trip, cameras follow Duffy and his family as they drive across the country ahead of its 250-year anniversary. While that may sound benign, the filming schedule is enough to make one scream like a passenger whose flight has been delayed due to a lack of air traffic controllers. Duffy filmed the show over seven months last year. That's right: seven months! At the same time, the low-grade reality star was cosplaying as Transportation Sec."
"He even admits to juggling work and filming. "Over the course of seven months, we just found these moments where I might be able to do some work, take the kids with me, do a road trip," he said. "Our motto is, 'To love America you've gotta see America.'""
"With airfares skyrocketing and gas climbing past $5 per gallon in many states. seeing America is a luxury that few people can enjoy these days. Thankfully, we have the Duffy's. Who needs a summer getaway when you can watch a cabinet secretary spend our hard-earned tax dollars on his personal travel? (That's even a better deal than Chase Reward points!)"
Planes crashing and TSA agents working without pay are presented alongside skyrocketing airfares blamed on an unauthorized and illegal war. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy is described as appearing on television and blaming a predecessor for problems occurring during his tenure. He is said to have filmed a family road trip show across the country for seven months while serving as Transportation Secretary. The filming is portrayed as requiring long periods that could have been used for work. Duffy is quoted describing how he found moments to do work, take his kids, and travel, with a motto about loving America by seeing America. The piece criticizes the idea of using hard-earned tax dollars for personal travel during a difficult time for travelers.
