Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy faced a wave of backlash from critics on Tuesday after a 2024 Fox Nation clip resurfaced showing him discussing actress Sydney Sweeney’s breasts.

The comments came during a March 2024 edition of From the Kitchen Table: The Duffys. The show, featuring Duffy and his wife, Fox News host Rachel Campos-Duffy, was released at the time on Fox Nation, the network’s on-demand video streaming service. The episode in question was titled “Can Sydney Sweeney Save America From Going Woke?”

“I’m gonna come back and give you my take on Sydney Sweeney’s breasts right after this break,” Duffy said in the clip.

“Alright, welcome back,” the transportation secretary continued, crediting his wife for recommending the NSFW topic. “Men appreciate women, and men that appreciate women are not toxic. God made us a certain way to appreciate and want to mate with a woman, and women are made the same way to want to be with a man and, um, I think Sydney Sweeney is just a reminder that men are still men. I’m sorry, we are.”

Independent journalist Karly Kingsley wrote on X Tuesday, “What a f***ing creep,” while Democratic strategist Mike Nellis added, “Why the f**k is the Secretary of Transportation on Fox News talking about Sydney Sweeney’s boobs?”

Not to mention, another clip from the same series resurfaced Tuesday, leading to further critical discourse.

“We have a ‘get in the mood’ playlist,” Campos-Duffy revealed in the snippet. “Let’s not lie about that. We call it our love playlist.”

In related news, six episodes of Duffy’s new YouTube reality show, The Great American Road Trip, were released earlier this month after the series was delayed as the transportation secretary worked to ensure it complied with federal ethics rules.

In one episode, Duffy warned his teenage daughter against attending Harvard University, arguing that the school had “professionalized” how to “take good, young girls like you” and “corrupt their minds.”
