December 15, 2020 – As the Biden administration prepared to take office in five weeks, Education Secretary Betsy DeVos told employees in her department to “be the resistance.” Following the lead of a president who has refused to concede the election, she said, “Let me leave you with this plea: Resist.”
The stupid thing is, she's disqualified herself (to me) for apparently WANTING to work for #TraitorTrump, or #45, not because of the #WWE.
At least on the surface she doesn't seem to be a #ChristianNationalist like #BetsyDevos. Of course, the fact that she's happy to work with christian nationalists makes it moot.

Fmr #Trump #education secy #BetsyDeVos has said she would come back for a 2nd term if the mission was closing her fmr dept.
Together, the pledges raise the question of whether #Congress, if controlled by #Republicans, & the WH, if controlled by #Trump, would act on the promise….
On the campaign trail, a range of #Republican candidates are voicing support, in sometimes dramatic terms.
