Betsy DeVos invents new excuse for her failed interviews: video editing

Education secretary Betsy DeVos now blames "editing" for why she came across so poorly in her jaw-droppingly bad "60 Minutes" interview.
Education secretary Betsy DeVos is in the third day of fallout from her disastrous interview with 60 Minutes, and things arent getting any better for her.
Now, DeVos is blaming editing for her awkward responses on television, where she was clearly flustered and unable to defend her beliefs and rhetoric on education.
Speaking to the PTA Legislative Conference, DeVos told the audience, Now that I have the opportunity to speak unedited, Im not afraid to call out folks who defend stagnation for what it really is: failure.

Editing has nothing to with the shocking display of ignorance exhibited by DeVos. Nor do teachers, as she tried to claim in another interview with Today.

(14,532 posts)I think 60 minutes need to air the entire interview, without editing. Let the public decide if she came off poorly because of editing or if they edited out the worst stuff and this is the best she can do.
