Betsy DeVos tries to weasel out of giving honest answers to Tom Kaine.

She apparently doesn't believe in charter/voucher schools having to meet public school standards of accountability or federal guidelines for disability services and reporting harassment and bullying.

She was totally unprepared for her hearing.

One thing is clear, Betsy DeVos has lived a sheltered life in a bubble of privilege where her husband's billions (made from the ponzi scheme Amway) has given her entry to a world where accountability is not required.

"Accountability..Er, what's that?"

Betsy DeVos, another faker.

try to get a straight answer out of this glib, deceitful libertarian crypto-theocrat. Tim Kaine, you are my VP. What a great person.
