Education Secretary Betsy DeVos resigned from the Trump administration Thursday night, a day after pro-Trump protesters descended on the Capitol, breaking through security barriers and forcing lawmakers to evacuate the Senate floor.
DeVos is the second member of President Trump’s Cabinet to quit in response to the riot after Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao submitted her resignation earlier on Thursday.
“Impressionable children are watching all of this, and they are learning from us. I believe we each have a moral obligation to exercise good judgement and model the behavior we hope they would emulate. They must know from us that America is greater than what transpired yesterday. To that end

Betsy you lying cow, impressionable children have watched the entire year when people were burning, looting, stealing, smashing stores and homes....oh, you were on vacation most of the year? AND the same thugs were busy yesterday!! Just like the stolen election this too was carefully planned by Soros, the Obamination who cannot stand how the President succeeded on so many issues that the punk wants to destroy it altogether. Won't happen. What this President did will last centuries. But you Betsy, you little lying coward, want to join the lefties hoping to get another job??

If they've been watching the dems, they've learned that cheating is OK, that cheaters seem to always win, and that that's nothing to be ashamed of!

Read why this is happening on Rush. He said Pelosi and the garbage politicians in Washing are making sure no one ever tries to go against them again. Anyone who wants to keep working or living in Washington has to go against Trump or their career is over. He still has a huge following and they have to make sure he never runs for anything again so the section 25 has to be done or he has to be impeached, which is a felony, and can never run for office again.

Enough with the faux outrage and virtue signaling. This is not about your deeply held principles. This is about you wanting to continue playing in the sandbox and sucking off the taxpayers.

Haha, this from the MSM that found her otherwise not credible in every other thing she did said or did. BTW why not give your resignation now that you know Trump is not going to be president. Gotta clean up your public image so you can get back on the cocktail circuit.

Of course there will be more resignations. Every cabinet member or other government official appointed by PDJT will be out of a job on January 20th. Leaving now = resign before you are fired.
If you did your job, served the president and the American people to the best of your ability, don't shake his hand and kick him in the shins on your way out the door. And by the way, until you know all of the facts surrounding the "riots" (and not just the media characterization,) be thankful for the opportunity to serve, shut up and go.

A few days ago Lyn Wood and the Kracken both said that Trump should fire some of his staff. Do you really think all of these are resignations? Trump is cleaning out his Administration. Remember what he said today about a smooth transition with the new Administration. You don't think he was talking about Biden now did you? When Trump tweets, "The Storm is Upon Us". It begins.

Good help is so hard to find in Washington. Its so obvious that Trump is alone there. These people are just looking for an excuse to turn on him. My opinion of Washington just keeps getting lower and lower, and it was low to begin with. It is dismaying to see how Washington operates. They aren't accountable to anyone, and look out for themselves only. These people shouldn't be there.

BS. She has to leave office when comrade Biden takes office. She probably got a lucrative job offer too good to pass up.

I read that she was already planning to leave before Wednesday, so she used the peaceful protests as an opportunity to dump on PDT and US. So many traitors, but thanks for outing yourself, betsy (you don't deserve that name). We're keeping receipts on all of you.

there shouldn't even be a Secretary of Education Cabinet position. since the federal government took over the public school education system it has seen nothing but drops in math and science levels at a historic rate; scholastic levels of some school systems that are surpassed by the country of Malawi; emergence of teacher's unions having overwhelming power over curriculum and school administrative policies and so much more which prove that the United States public school systems, instead of being the envy of the world, are now the laughing stock of the world.

Now that is disappointing. She doesn't have be pro riot et al. Now she looks like one of the rats leaving the sinking ship, and after all the backing Trump gave her to try to straighten out our education system.

This resignation, just days ahead of her expiration date, just shows how TOTALLY IGNORANT DeVos is.
Trump has held dozens of rallies throughout the US with not a single act of rioting, violence, or vandalism (at lest by Trump side). Why does this super smart Education Secretary now think he spurred on violence Wednesday?
The rioting and violence Wednesday:
1. Has been proven to have been instigated by BLM/Antifa infiltrators, based on firsthand witness statements, photographs and video evidence and facial recognition software.
2. The breaking through the barriers and charging into the Capitol happened DURING TRUMP's SPEECH ELSEWHERE. How can anyone possibly say that he fired up the crowd when the rioting happened simultaneous to Trump's speech elsewhere? Law enforcement would call this an alibi.
3. The rioting and charging into the Capitol Building was occurring while the process of Representatives' and Senators' objections to the electors was lawfully taking place. Those riots disrupted Stop the Steal.
Blaming Trump for actions by the Left is very much like trying to impeach him for requesting the Ukraine government to look at corruption and payoffs of the Biden Crime Family.
The Democrats always accuse others of what they are exactly doing.

All this virtue signaling over an Antifa/BLM led false flag.
We don’t care. We heard the presidents words. He never to.d the crowd to storm the capitol bu8ding. It was Antifa, with support from the capitol police, that led the “insurrection”.
They haven’t seen what insurrection looks like yet.
