Rachel Campos-Duffy, co-host of “Fox & Friends Weekend” and the wife of U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, recently shared a Mother’s Day message that one therapist warned was “exclusionary” and can cause harm.
On Sunday, which was Mother’s Day, Campos-Duffy appeared on Fox News’ “The Sunday Briefing” to talk about first lady Melania Trump’s recent opinion piece published in The Washington Post. In the op-ed, the first lady discussed how moms are finding ways to balance their careers and their families — and the importance of being available “not just when it is convenient, but whenever your child needs you.”
Trump was panned online for coming off as condescending and out-of-touch with the struggles everyday working moms face, and for writing, among other things: “America can restore the honor of motherhood after years in which feminism often placed career above family, with consequences to our nation.”
Campos-Duffy praised Trump’s op-ed, noting that she personally “has a heart for working moms” and for stay-at-home moms, since she stayed at home with her kids for 14 years before joining the network. Campos-Duffy and Sean Duffy share nine children together.
“For so long, feminism and feminists have been demanding that we put work first ... we saw the rise of the girl boss,” she said.
