The Leftist rag Daily Beast took aim at the eldest child of Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy and her newborn on Friday in an article that ridiculed the new mother and mocked the large Catholic family. <\/span><\/p>\n The Daily Beast writer, Annabella Rosciglione, titled the hit piece<\/a> \u201cTrump Goon\u2019s Nepo Baby Announces Birth of Daughter,\u201d taking the opportunity to turn a heartfelt moment into an attack targeting Evita Duffy-Alfonso in the days after the birth of her first child. The Daily Beast called out Duffy-Alfonso for having a “meltdown” in a TSA line when she refused to go through a metal detector while pregnant, something many expectant mothers opt to do.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n In the post that prompted The Daily Beast hit piece, Duffy-Alfonso simply wrote, “Obsessed” and included pictures of her and her baby. After the article was published, Duffy-Alfonso took to X and ripped The Daily Beast for its \u201cTerminal case of Trump Derangement Syndrome.\u201d<\/p>\n Terminal case of Trump Derangement Syndrome over at @thedailybeast<\/a> today\u2026 Anyways, here\u2019s Rosita and I this afternoon \ud83c\udf38\u2600\ufe0f pic.twitter.com\/OkHFnYBICX<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Evita Duffy-Alfonso (@evitaduffy_1) May 29, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Many other conservatives took to social media to slam The Daily Beast and offer their support for the new mother, most notably Duffy-Alfonso’s mother and “Fox & Friends Weekend” host Rachel Campos-Duffy.<\/p>\n \u201cHaters gonna hate, Evita. They can\u2019t rain [on] my parade. Rosita is perfect. And you are a beautiful mama!\u201d Campos-Duffy wrote<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Daily Wire host Isabel Brown took to X as well writing<\/a>, \u201cSo the media running hit pieces on newborn babies now … [Evita Duffy-Alfonso] congratulations on your beautiful baby girl!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n “This is honestly kind of shocking,” said writer Bethany Mandel.<\/p>\n Fox News contributor Joe Concha called out Daily Beast publisher and CEO Ben Sherwood, saying, “How can you allow this filth to be published? You want the Daily Beast to be anti-whatever – fine \u2026 but this kind of ‘story’ is repulsive and completely unwarranted and needs to be retracted or pulled altogether.”<\/p>\n The boos of one angry reporter were quickly drowned out by the cheers of countless conservatives. <\/span>Conservative commentator Dana Loesch stated<\/a>: \u201cCongratulations, mama! She\u2019s beautiful.” <\/span>Turning Point USA\u2019s Andrew Kolvet added<\/a>, \u201cCongratulations!

The Daily Beast <\/span>article<\/span><\/a> also called attention to her husband, Michael Alfonso, who is currently running in the Republican primary for Wisconsin\u2019s 7th Congressional District as the only Trump-endorsed candidate.<\/span><\/p>\n\n
