Former EEOC administrative judge Karen Ortiz is calling out United States Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy’s family road trip reality series, Great American Road Trip, that was released on YouTube on August 19.“The Real World - Fascist Edition,” the NYC-based Ortiz, who previously opposed Trump's anti-trans executive orders, wrote under the Tennessee Holler post sharing a clip from the show.Sean Duffy is getting slammed for trying to restrict his daughter from going to Harvard. (Image via Threads)In it, Sean Duffy, 54, is seen having a discussion with his daughter Paloma Pilar, 18, about her college education. Ahead of a trip to Boston to look at colleges for her, Sean asks Paloma in episode 2 while standing in their kitchen:“Let’s say you got into Harvard. Would you be pushing us to actually have you go?”The teenager replies, “Probably,” before adding that if she gets in, she feels like nobody should say “no” to an Ivy League opportunity. To this, her politician dad says:“Well, me and mom can say no.”After a discussion with his Fox News host wife, Rachel Campos-Duffy, also 54, Sean Duffy returns to the kitchen and tells his daughter that while he wants his kids to make their own choices and be exposed to different viewpoints, he'd prefer if they didn't move away from their conservative roots. At one point, the former NASA acting coordinator notes:“Listen, my problem is, we have thought about how we raised you, and how hard we’ve worked to, I think, raise what is a remarkable young girl. If I send you there, I think what happens is they have professionalized figuring out how they can take good, young girls like you and, I think, corrupt their minds.”The episode has now sparked a controversy across social media platforms, including comments from the likes of Karen Ortiz. Here are a few reactions from X.“Narrowing your kid's options in life to score political points on a reality TV show is pretty f**king awful,” a netizen wrote.“How about letting your daughter have a mind of her own?” another netizen commented.“Basically, telling his daughter she's too dumb to see through the corruption,” a third individual added.“So, he wants them to hear many different viewpoints up until they can be challenged in an environment he has no control over? Is that what I'm catching here?” a user stated.“Run child, run,” a person weighed in.Sean Duffy has yet to address the backlash.Exploring further the discussion between Sean Duffy and her daughterIn the episode where Sean Duffy speaks to Paloma Pilar about attending Harvard, he claims that he wants his children to not have a single viewpoint but “different” ones; however, he didn’t “want them fed” the viewpoint, which is “contrary” to how his “kids were raised.”“You don’t have to believe what I believe, you don’t have to have the political viewpoints that I have, but I do think you make those choices for yourself and have a fair representation of what they are. And I don’t think Harvards of the world give you that kind of well-rounded picture,” Sean Duffy noted.Paloma, who, according to her Instagram bio, is now a student at the University of Chicago (the show was probably filmed before she took admission), replied:“But I went to an extremely conservative school in high school and I’m part of an extremely conservative family. And that if I go to a liberal setting, that’s a way more rounded education that if I go to a conservative high school and then go to a conservative college. That’s just kind of being like one-sided anyway.” View this post on Instagram Instagram PostSean Duffy continued to make his point:“But they are so good at it. You’ll see young people go to a conservative school with a conservative family and they get perverted and contorted.”In between the father-daughter debate, Rachel Campos-Duffy also chimes in and says what she thinks about her daughter’s Harvard prospects.“Catholicism to us is everything. It's the basis of our marriage. It's the basis of our family. So, I'm nervous about the idea of Paloma going to Harvard. We spend a lot of time nurturing and providing formation for our kids, giving them an environment where they are steeped in faith and values. And so the idea of dropping her off at a place that would undermine that or try to undo all those things makes me worried,” the conservative anchor said.Sean and Rachel Campos-Duffy, who married in 1999, have eight more children besides Paloma.According to the Daily Beast, the six-part series hasn’t received enough viewership. Meanwhile, Sean Duffy told NewsNation earlier this month his family reality show was delayed by two months to fit “compliance with all of the ethics rules” of the government.While the video description on YouTube claims the Great American Road Trip was funded by independent nonprofit organizations, concerns by the opposition in the Senate have been regarding money coming in from companies that are in business with the federal transportation department. Sponsors reportedly include United Airlines, Boeing, Toyota, and Royal Caribbean.The show follows the couple and several of their nine children as they take a noncontinuous cross-country road trip.
