Education Secretary Betsy DeVos resigns over Capitol riot, blames Trump rhetoric
CNBC ^ | 1/7/2021 | Dan Mangan

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.

She is the wealthiest woman in Michigan and I think also one of the wealthiest women in the United States. She doesn’t need to work, but she will continue to advocate for school choice, I think. It’s her passion. The unions are a powerful force against.

If you watched Tucker and Hannity today you saw endless footage of Biden/ Kamala the democrats and media supporting attacks on the Capitol, SCOTUS, federal buildings and cities.

Outright supporting violence.

But we have our own pathetic “leaders” enabling those who intend to enslave us. Over a tiny group who acted badly.

I hate cowards.

Mine will remain furled.

It remained furled throughout the Kenyanesian Usurpation and then was flown proudly during the glorious rebirth of America that was the Trump years.

Publishers are canceling book deals today. These people want to make sure their books deals don’t get canceled. $$$ and TV time is all it’s about.

Education is going to get so much worse in the Biden Administration. I cringe at the thought of it yet I am thankful I have grown kids but the grandkids are very young. Their mom is not sold on homeschooling and prefers to send them to a public school. I have to pray she changes her mind.

I am coming to the conclusion that nearly everyone in DC is either a poofter or a carpet muncher. And they all take pictures of their deviance.

Why did Steve Bannon get fired from the Trump administration? He would have been a good one to keep around.

She was indeed a Bush person; her chief of staff was Jeb Bush’s Education Secretary in FL I think.

Much I wish he had options, he does not. The lies and corruption in DC can’t be defeated in the next week. He has pretty much been one man against the Deep State for the last four years. There is nothing he can do at this point...sorry to say.

Yep.

I want all my tax money back.

Why in the hell are we paying these cowardly politicians and letting them anywhere near the public treasuries?
