Kellyanne Conway, incoming counselor to Donald Trump, on Wednesday accused Democrats of “humiliating and trying to embarrass” the president-elect’s Cabinet nominees and called their rapid-fire questioning of Betsy DeVos, his pick for education secretary, “reprehensible.”
“This idea of humiliating and trying to embarrass qualified men and women who just wish to serve this nation is reprehensible,” Conway told Fox News on Wednesday morning. “Not one child who needs a better education benefited from any of those incendiary questions yesterday. But, of course, Mrs. DeVos held herself with the grace and elegance that we know her to have.”
On Tuesday, Democrats on the Senate education committee grilled DeVos, a prominent donor to Michigan Republicans and longtime advocate for charter schools and school vouchers.
