Former Education Secretary Betsy DeVos is revealing for the first time the extent of her revulsion at former President Donald Trump's inability to 'do what he could have done' to try to counter the events of January 6th, she said in a new interview. DeVos resigned her post on Jan. 7, 2020–calling the riot the previous day and Trump's rhetoric an 'inflection point.' Now in a new interview promoting a book, she says she discussed using the 25th Amendment to remove Trump from office–and says she faulted Trump for failing to 'address the situation.' She even raised the 25th Amendment issue directly with Vice President Mike Pence,

I don't recall DeVos resigning. She didn't do a darn thing in her job until maybe 5 months before the end of Trump's term. But I do not recall her resigning. Would that she had. Just more fodder for supporting the Judas Pence meme.

Apparently it is a DC thing to leave an administration and then write a book.

These kind of personnel decisions are why I'm hesitant about another term. I mean pro-kid-tranisioning, pro-abortion Dr. Oz? Which communist has Trump's ear?

He had her back every step of the way...gave her a chance to make a difference, made her a household name, THIS is how she repays him. Even then...IF she was going to do something like this piggy backing on Schiff/Pelosi's starchamber witch hunt is incredibly poor form

#3 - I don't recall that, either, but if she did quietly resign over disagreements with her boss then she at least got that part right. Enjoy your millions, Betsy.

Betsy babe, you were not exactly top-drawer material to begin with. I guess you resigned so late because you would have been dumped if President Trump won again! No one misses you, and no one admired your tenure!

This is the woman whose family invested $100 million in Theranos and lost every penny. Not the brightest bulb on the Christmas tree.

Another "hero" dumped in the trash. I guess another great choice by PDT to go with Mad Dog, T-Rex, Gentleman Jeff, 'Stache Bolton, Seb, and a host of others. Funny, she lasted virtually PDT's entire term.

I didn’t recall De Vos’s resigning, nor Chao’s, as they were never significant to me. As for Trump picking his cabinet, unless a president has a bunch of cronies or campaign supporters he wants to honor (Trump had neither) they tend to rely on advisers they trust. I read once that Condoleezza Rice recommended Mattis, McMaster, possibly Kelly. Chris Christie may have been involved as this would have been a transition matter. Reince Preibus.

These books are vanity projects. Get them back in public eye, pick up a coupla bucks. An exceedingly unattractive thing done by Lilliputians trying to continue taking down Gulliver...

Leftists are always willing to pay good advance money for any RINO willing to stab a conservative in the back. I'm sure the check cleared. The book doesn't need to sell, they got the headline - she got paid - Trump (and America) got screwed. Mission accomplished.

Our education system is a disaster. Holding that position and doing nothing while there is nothing to brag about. Isn't the first lady a dr. of education? Again, nothing is being done to fix anything. As far the the world standing for American's education system, it's fallen quite far.

Do either this woman or Mr. Pence wish to state under oath that they do not believe that the election was stolen, ---- or perhaps they would like to acknowledge that this election was legitimate?
If not, then STHU. This was an unprecedented electoral coup and you didn't have the stomach for it.
