LOADINGERROR LOADING

California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) made a simple yet gnarly response to Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy’s odd suggestion that airline passengers should dress better to enhance their travel experience.

“Sometimes you just have to ask people, ’Hey, let’s go back to an era where we didn’t wear our pajamas to the airport. We actually might dress up a little bit,” Duffy said on Fox Business promoting a new “civility” campaign.
