Department of Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy’s promised summer reality show has yet to see the light of day as the season of beach trips, sunshine, and swimming hits the halfway mark.
The Great American Road Trip was intended to help celebrate America’s 250th Anniversary, Duffy, 54, said in a May appearance on Fox News.
The former reality TV star had said the show was to drop in June, according to Politico, which noted back on July 1 that the program had yet to be seen.
His wife, fellow reality TV alumna and current Fox News host Rachel Campos-Duffy, had described the show — which would have shown the couple traveling America with their nine kids — as “really wholesome”:
“We live in a Porn Hub world,” she said during their May turn on the network. “This is really wholesome, good family stuff. This is what families need to do.”
The Bulwark is the most recent outlet to mark the show’s absence with a piece on Tuesday pointing out the DOT had described The Great American Road Trip back in March as a “key initiative”:
This Saturday marks three months since the Duffys’ Fox News appearance. Summer is more than half over. The celebrations around the Fourth of July that Duffy’s show was supposed to promote — the project was “aligned” with Trump’s sketchy Freedom250 alternative celebration — are well in the past. Many American school students will go back to school this week.
Yet The Great American Road Trip, which Duffy promised would premiere in June, has not released a single episode. That’s a pretty significant failure for a show the Department of Transportation once described as a “key initiative.”
What happened to The Great American Road Trip? Why have the Duffys failed to help a single American family grow closer or disconnect from the “Pornhub world”?
A Department of Transportation spokesperson said: “America’s 250th birthday is a year-long celebration, and we look forward to sharing the final product soon.”
