Congresswoman Stunned by Betsy DeVos's Racism

[tomhagen]

[Sanity Claws]

1. Is English DeVos' first language?

"that has been spoken to me" - no native speaker of English, except perhaps dear Betsy, talks like this.
Normal English speakers say, "That's what I have been told."

[LonePirate]

2. No Dem in Congress should be shocked by the magnitude of racism and stupidity in this administration

Every single official in this administration is constantly proving how racist, ignorant and corrupt they are.

[Guilded Lilly]

3. Yes. Across the board, all.

[LonePirate]

4. When Rick Perry is the most competent cabinet member, you know things are seriously screwed up.

[SharonAnn]

11. She's from the Dutch Reformed Church heritage. Extremely racist

White South Africans, the Dutch heritage, came up with apartheid.

My father's family is from the area where Betsy DeVos lives. Unbelievably racist, even today.

16. +1

13. exactly

[LuvNewcastle]

22. They never answer a question, either.

If they're caught in a mistake or a lie, they don't admit to it, they try to gloss it over with a platitude or other generalized, meaningless statement. Trump and the rest really go out of their way to find the absolute worst people they can find to fill these jobs.

[justhanginon]

26. And to the detriment of our nation , they have succeeded

oh so well in finding the absolute worst for any given governmental job that they have control over. DeVos is just a prime example.

[B Stieg]

5. Not a problem in my classroom...

as all the white kids look the same to me! ( )
DeVoss is a trust fund idiot. Talk about "the banality of racism" in the tRump administration. Sheesh!

[zentrum]

7. Not sure this is just idiocy.

I think it's very carefully crafted out and out racism. It's a cabal of White Supremacists from top to bottom.

[MyOwnPeace]

6. The unending shame

to think of all of the idiots that IQ45 has named to positions of responsibility - and that is who represents the USA?
Seriously, how could one expect to "Make America Great Again" being led by fools?

[kag]

15. I think you answered your own question, MyOwn.

MAGAts wouldn't know a qualified candidate if one bit them on the ass. The orange buffoon doesn't see the need for competence because he doesn't have any himself, and look how great I am!

I'm with you on the s

[Faux pas]

8. Kickin' with disgust

[cp]

9. "Smiling" (cuz it's fake) face of racism

Could I despise DeVos more? (Rhetorical only.)
Thank you, Congresswoman Clark.

[mountain grammy]

12. Thank you Congresswoman for exposing this racist and her lies.

[niyad]

14. kudos to Congressmember Clark--she is not standing for ANY nonsense from ANY crony of

the orange maggot.

[Lonestarblue]

17. She's also a Dominionist.

The Christian cult who believe that white wealthy people are appointed by God as the rightful leaders of the country to create a theocracy and the Constitution and democracy be damned. It’s a secretive organization so you don’t hear much about them.

[Progressive Jones]

19. Yes she is, and it's my belief that the Dominionist cult

needs to have it's influence in our governments (Federal, State, local) greatly diminished.
How do we achieve this? There are many ways to skin a rat...

[dixiegrrrrl]

20. We may not hear much ABOUT them,

but we seem to be hearing a lot FROM them.

[BigOleDummy]

18. I am a very non-violent

Person, but every time I look at Betsy Devo's smirk and condescending grin I just feel like smashing her teeth in. I can say that about a lot of the members of this administration actually and the vast majority of repuglican Senators. I don't like having that feeling to be honest.

[UpInArms]

24. I'm with you

That racist ... smugly smiling ... pisses me off in ways innumerable

[Firestorm49]

29. Nor do I. It makes me sick.

[smirkymonkey]

31. +1000

I second this. This woman infuriates me. I'm not proud of it, but I can't control the way they make me feel.

[suffragette]

21. Absolutely nails DeVos for citing racist "research" to justify changing policy.

DeVos keeps trying to slime her way out of it, but can’t slither past the truth.
