"Have you ever heard the term, "dumb as a box of rocks", well that describes Sean Duffy to a tee. Many of trump's cabinet nominations are inexperienced or just plain unqualified, but none are just plain dumb, well now Trump has covered dumb with this nominee. He is from my [art of Wisco and he was elected to the House through the GOP's gerrymandering of the state. I suspect he was nominated due to his wife being on Fox News."

4. Sean Duffy, R-WI: At a town hall meeting in Wisconsin, Duffy was asked whether he’d vote to cut his $174,000 congressional salary. He proceeded to whine about how $174,000 really isn’t that much: “I guarantee that I have more debt than all of you. With six kids, I still pay off my student loans. I still pay my mortgage.” Sounds like he could benefit from Obama’s proposals to reform mortgage and student loan debt.
