pro-TFG republican calls paternity leave "ridiculous"
Men taking weeks off for paternity leave is "absolutely ridiculous," according to conservative Kimberly Klacik.
Klacik, who unsuccessfully ran for Maryland's 7th Congressional District in two separate elections in 2020, tweeted Monday: "Remember when men serving our country would come home to see their child born & then left for war again within 48 hours? Those kids turned out fine."
The founder of the Red Renaissance PAC said the context behind her tweet was due to reading a news story about U.S. Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg potentially running for president in 2024.
"If the DNC has to resort to the guy that sat at home on paternity leave while we had serious supply chain issues, they are in deep doo-doo," Klacik wrote. "The Secretary of Transportation literally sat at home on paternity leave during a supply chain crisis."

For Fathers Is So Important For Working Families," reports: that about 2 million fathers were stay-at-home dads in 2012 and that nine out of ten U.S. fathers took some time off work for the birth or adoption of a child.
Although, seven of 10 fathers took 10 days of leave or less as part of their leave.
"Even where men have access to paid leave, they might still cut their leaves short to avoid being perceived as less dedicated employees," the report mentions. "One recent survey of highly educated professional fathers—who had more access to paid parental leave than most U.S. workers—found a substantial portion took less than the full amount of paid leave available."
