Jason Rantz challenged Ana Navarro on CNN after she said Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy had been on a seven-month road trip, calling that description inaccurate and unfair.
Duffy said the series was filmed in short one- to two-day windows—about two days a month, plus spring break—not as a continuous seven-month absence from his job.
The transportation secretary has faced criticism from Democrats and left-leaning commentators over the show, especially amid high gas prices, but says no taxpayer dollars funded his family’s travel.
Duffy said DOT ethics and budget officials reviewed the project and argued the program, "The Great American Road Trip," is meant to promote patriotism ahead of America’s 250th anniversary.
