Betsy DeVos, the education secretary nominee who hates public education, is getting some air support from the 45committee, a group that seems to specialize in advertising for Donald Trump’s worst nominees:
The 45committee has previously run ads for attorney general nominee Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III and health and human services nominee Tom Price. So, the woman who has no experience in public education other than spending her family’s billions to destroy it and wants to keep guns in schools because of “potential grizzlies;" the man who was too racist to be a federal judge in 1986, but is now in line to be in charge of federal civil rights enforcement; and the man whose top interest in health policy is either taking health care from people or profiting from insider trading on health-related businesses, but we’re not sure which. That is some damn fine company.
Meanwhile, 248 civil rights groups signed a letter opposing confirmation for DeVos.
