Education Secretary Betsy DeVos resigned Thursday night, blaming President Donald Trump for rhetoric that fueled the invasion of the U.S. Capitol by a mob of Trump suppporters.
DeVos is the second member of Trump’s cabinet to quit because of the riot Wednesday.
Earlier Thursday, Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao said she would resign.
Chao is the wife of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., who refused to endorse Trump’s efforts to have Congress block the confirmation of Joe Biden as the winner of the presidential vote in the Electoral College.
A number of other Trump administration officials have quit since Wednesday.
Well, I reckon that she is looking for another Swamp gig. She certainly doesn’t stand a chance in running as a Republican outside of Blue States now.
Everyone that wants a job in DC in February is capitulating.
No honor amount them.
So many betrayers. It’s hard not to be demoralized.
Oh, no! Betsy is resigning! She’s been so hard working and effective for four years. Whatever shall we do?
so here is a technical question
with all these cabinet members resigning...who votes on the 25th amendment in their place?
I really despise what they are doing to Trump
Always a Bush person.
Why is everybody so freaked out about Trump’s staff quitting? Trump himself quit. Why shouldn’t they?
She got a better deal from the Chicoms. Pathetic. Maybe she will run Confucius Institutes for them.
Just goes to show these pieces of poo NEVER had the President’s back..EVER..
DJT sure hired some awful bags of crap.
As a sister of three brothers and a mom with three sons, I will always be grateful for DeVos restoring due process rights to men falsely accused of rape in college.
Another traitor.
DeVos resigned, Trump didn’t resign.
Who on the left is going to hire her?
The rats are really deserting the sinking ship now. Also breaking that Pompeo and Mnuchin have started and led discussions to invoke the 25th to remove Trump as being unfit. Yep, rats deserting one after another.
Makes one wonder when the top rat himself calls it quits and ends this charade.
All of this BS I am reading about these people resigning because of what Trump said yesterday is just an excuse.
Oh please. A pathetic attempt at relevance by someone who is out of a job in 13 days anyway.
I agree with the above: this is one less voter on invoking the 25th amendment.
