'Let them eat road trips!' Sean Duffy pilloried for cheery response to $4.50 gas [View all]

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy cheerfully downplayed rising fuel costs as the result of President Donald Trump's war in Iran, and he was pilloried on social media.

The Transportation Secretary was asked by reporters Thursday at an event in Philadelphia about average gasoline prices surpassing $4.50 per gallon, and Duffy justified the president's war and insisted that prices weren't too high to consider a road trip.

"We live in a very different world, and I just don't think we've had other presidents who've been willing to see the threat and address the threat of Iran, so, opens up, I think you're going to see prices come down immediately," Duffy said. "You saw yesterday energy prices came down below $100 a barrel. I think we're at $93 this morning – don't quote me on that, I think we were at $92, $93 for Brent crude. So we're in a good place."
