Top Democrats blasted Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy’s controversial reality-show-style road trip, with one saying that if she were to do it, it would be “100 percent illegal,” Politico reports.
Said Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY): “I don’t like the fact that this ‘Great American [Road Trip]’ reality TV show took days and days of filming. I don’t like the fact that it was paid for by companies that you have to oversee, companies that you work with, and in our jobs that would be pay for play.”
She added: “It would be 100 percent illegal. It would be inappropriate on every level and not tolerated.”
“The exchange between Duffy and Gillibrand, the ranking member of the subcommittee, spiraled into the pair yelling over one another.”
