Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, a former MTV Real World cast member, filmed a five-part reality series called 'The Great American Road Trip' over seven months while serving in his Cabinet position, triggering backlash from former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg and others who criticized the timing given ongoing high gas prices. The show follows Duffy and his family traveling across the country and is set to air on YouTube. The criticism centers on the optics of a sitting Cabinet member spending months on a self-promotional documentary when Americans are struggling with transportation costs.
