    Surely, hosting Fox & Friends Weekend pays well. But the list of sponsors on the Great American Road Trip website suggests mom might have had a little help:

    So, what exactly is going on with the money behind The Great American Road Trip? Who provided all those beautiful hotel rooms, snowmobiles, waterslides, and sweeping drone shots? Were the Duffys paid for their participation? It’s unclear!

    The way more important detail here is, most of those sponsors are directly or indirectly part of the transportation industry. Y’know, the domain Duffy oversees. The scandal here isn’t Duffy “working” from the road (a lot of these cabinet positions are more about PR and it’s the undersecretaries that do the real daily management), it’s that the whole thing is a vehicle for laundering political bribes.
