i think she came and went for publicity events, she stepped in and out. she didn t continue the process. you have to keep doing it for 8 years. it was only on tv a couple times a year. meghan: he s right. there s so much backlash against the quality, taste of the food. if you re in a place, literally being the ambassador better schools in america. harris: right now, we are waiting to see if betsy devos will be the next education secretary. as he watches on capitol hill, we are going to go for a quick commercial break and come right back to the news that s breakin breaking. no. mr. cotton. i. mr. kane. no. tives.
sexism. i find it i don t know if they would be saying this they didn t do it to rex tillerson. i don t understand why the anger is so intense with her, other than she is complete look at the way public schools are run from a complete a different lens, different angle. wanting to take a second look at charter schools. i don t know. i think what s happening to her is really unfortunate. abby: it s also what people expected for donald trump to do to make picks that you would not normally expect. look at someone like rex tillerson, he was not the first person to come to my mind. he doesn t come from that world, that background. that is what he is pushing forward, people like betsy devos who look at the education landscape a little bit differently than we are used to. maybe it s okay to take a step back and say look what she can do. antonio: look at the
the eyes appear to have it. the eyes do have it. the motion to table is agreed t to. without objection. harris: with that, ladies and ottoman, two points of history. we have a brand-new education secretary, betsy devos confirmed. we also have a tie being broken in the senate for the very first time in american history for a cabinet member by the vice president. history being made, we were there for that moment. now we have five cabinet members out of 15. we talked with a slow process,
people. harris: you look at, megan, what has been done and why john kelly has been the focal point. that is one thing where the president has been able to put his focus on immigration and foreign policy, because he does have that secretary in place. meghan: the anger towards betsy devos, simply for looking at our public education in a different way. she is charter schools, using different ways that we can reassess how public schools are running, everything about donald trump presidency is about reassessing the way things have always been done. i don t know why it s so surprising that his cabinet picks can be a little unorthodo unorthodox. the vitriol at her is shocking in a way i can t believe. i find it a little sexist. i don t understand why you re allowed to parody her in a way the video on on saturday live. the tone that is coming out of f these democrat lawmakers. i just keep thinking of this dystopian, alien movies.
producer on the hill, that both susan collins of alaska and maine respectively had voted no. or nay as they say in successions. at those of the true republican senators who have said no to betsy devos for education secretary. at that would mean that this is going along party lines with a pickup of two. it democrats able to pull on board republicans. it would need another one if they were going to steal this thing, because a vice president, as president of the senate can step up. they re going to tell me from the control room if we are going to listen and for this, and i will stop talking when that happens. for right now, senators are stepping up and casting their votes. we will stay with this picture because of some point, if necessary, we will see the vice president enter, take his seat and he will cast the tie vote.
