Donald Trump Jr. criticized Pete Buttigieg for taking maternity leave during a speech at a Donald Trump rally.
He said that if you are a male kindergarten teacher and you take maternity leave, he would care less. It is not hard of a concept. Hundreds of millions of people depend on you to show up.

Buttigieg, the first openly gay transportation secretary, took leave in mid-August after his newborn twins.
Buttigieg was mostly offline for the first four weeks, with the exception of major decisions that couldn't be delegated to another person.
The director of paid leave for all told them that the move wasmodeling at the highest levels.
The transportation secretary has previously pushed back on criticism of his decision, but Buttigieg's office did not respond to Insider's request for comment.
Tucker Carlson criticized the decision during his show. Pete Buttigieg has been on leave from his job since August after adopting a child. They call it maternity leave, trying to figure out how to breastfeed. Carlson said there was no word on how that went.
He defended his choice during an appearance on MSNBC.
