Never mind that the Senate telephone system was broken by Americans
calling in to oppose her nomination and never mind that—for the first
time in history—the vice president had to break a tie to get her
confirmed, Education Secretary Betsy DeVos says the opposition to her
isn't real. It's those paid operatives that have suddenly come out of the woodwork by the millions.
In interviews with two online news organizations, Ms. DeVos began laying the groundwork for her approach. “It would be fine with me to have myself worked out of a job,” she told Axios, adding that she expects there will be more public charter schools, private schools and virtual schools under her leadership. She told Townhall, a conservative outlet, that she doubted the validity of the demonstrations against her and that her critics and protesters wanted to make her life “a living hell.” “I don’t think most of those are spontaneous, genuine protests,” she said. “I think they’re all being sponsored and very carefully planned.”She thinks her life is a living hell now? Well boo-fucking-hoo. Wait until she starts really trying to dismantle public education. She'll see some very genuine protest. If she's having this much of a problem the first week into her brand-new job—being paid by all of us "sponsored" protesters—maybe she ought to be considering an early exit. Keep the pressure up, folks.
