Manigault Newman describes DeVos' comments during a conversation with her after the May address at Florida's Bethune-Cookman University as "meaning, all those black students were too stupid to understand her agenda."
Manigault Newman trashes DeVos throughout the book and calls her "woefully inadequate and not equipped for her job." She alleges President Donald Trump referred to the education secretary as "Ditzy DeVos" and promised to "get rid of her" after the Bethune-Cookman event.
In the book, "Unhinged: An Insider's Account of the Trump White House," Manigault Newman also blames DeVos for confusion around an annual conference in D.C. for historically black colleges and universities, which the administration downsized in September 2017. She writes that DeVos was the "number one driver for cancellation."

Their dog whistles are really bullhorns now thoughin Devos' case there's actually a dual-use, as in the better to warn against approaching grizzly bears.

(40,211 posts)They are strangely unable to offer rebuttals to the claims in the book. When theyve tried Omarosa has released a tape proving them liars. All theyve been able to do so far is call her names.

Oh, I get it, maybe you need to be home schooled and rich to "understand" her agenda.

(4,066 posts)The reason they booed you is not because they lack understanding. It is because they very much understand this administration's goals and what it wants to accomplish.
You want uneducated serfs and they know it.
