Betsy DeVos Dressed As Ms. Frizzle for Halloween and Twitter Is Not Happy About It
At Monday night’s annual White House Halloween bash, a handful of administration officials stopped by the South Lawn to take part in the spooky festivities. Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders posed for photos with the President and First Lady, Secretary of Veterans Affairs David Shulkin donned a classic knife-through-the-headband, and Attorney General Jeff Sessions dressed as…Attorney General Jeff Sessions.
Going all out in her costume, however, was Education Secretary Betsy DeVos, who dressed up as The Magic Schoolbus‘ Ms. Frizzle.
Of course, the dichotomy between DeVos and her costume choice was staggering. After all, Ms. Frizzle is one of the most beloved literary characters of all time. DeVos is a woman who tries to divert money away from public schools, has no prior experience in public education, and recently reversed a slew of protections for survivors of sexual assault on college campuses.
As expected, Twitter was furious about Devos-as-Frizzle, and fired off a wave of angry tweets:
