Protesters block DeVos from entering DC school

[ehrnst]

Education Secretary Betsy DeVos was greeted with protesters when she tried to enter a Washington middle school on Friday morning.

A video from the scene shows DeVos walking away from one entrance of Jefferson Middle School after being physically blocked from the entrance. One protester stood in front of the stairway entrance in the school, and DeVos walked back to her vehicle.

“Keep giving money to senators and buying your way to the position,” one protestor holding a Black Lives Matter sign says to her, according to a video from ABC reporter Sam Sweeney. “I hope you’re proud of yourself."

“Go back,” the protestor yells and she enters the car. “Shame! Shame! Shame!”

DeVos was reportedly able to eventually enter the school.

1. My initial reaction to this is:

'why arent there THOUSANDS of us there?"

But good on these folks.

I wish I had Soros or Gates money, if I did I would organize a rotation of millions of Americans protesting every move any WH cabinet member does, the president, VP, etc.

If they go for a cup of coffee, there would be thousands to greet them with protest.

I would have buses, planes and hotels paid for all around the country on a full time basis supporting people who cant afford to do it on their own.

I would do this with my money because if left alone, they are going to make money moot. Nuclear bombs or armed forces and martial law does that.

3. That was mean of them.

That was, like, the first time Devos has ever been inside a public school.

4. She was thinking "Oh my, how very quaint this all is!"

"What's a reasonable price to tip the peasants here for photographs?"

5. She looked utterly horrified

Like she was being hauled off to prison.

It was glorious.

6. I know, it was not what she expected, that's for sure.

Maybe I should change my reply to "Before she encountered the protestors, she was thinking..."

Everyone in the Trump administration should face protests wherever they go.

7. Your line about tipping the photogs made me chuckle.
