The media's being UNFAIR to MTV Real World GOP Lumberjack D*cheb*g's I love America almost as much as Trump road trip

Former transportation secretary Pete Buttigieg ripped into Sean Duffy’s indulgent plan to star in a reality TV series, calling it an “embarrassment to the Trump administration.”

Buttigieg, 44, appeared on State of the Union Sunday, and was asked by host Dana Bash about the heated criticisms being thrown between him and his successor online.

“He’s making videos about you. He said that the, quote, ‘radical, miserable left hates his road trip because they don’t want people to celebrate America.’ Your response?” Bash asked.

“I love road trips. I love America,” Buttigieg began, before joking of his military service: “I actually took a taxpayer-funded road trip lasting about seven months. It was in Afghanistan.”
