Betsy DeVos Resigns as Pressure Builds on Cabinet to Remove Trump

U.S. Secretary of Education resigned Thursday evening, citing President 's "rhetoric" ahead of the Wednesday riot at the U.S. Capitol as an "inflection point." She is the latest member to resign, amid increasing pressure from both and for Trump to be removed from office.

DeVos is the latest member of Trump's administration to resign after Trump supporters breached the Capitol building in an attempt to prevent the Congressional certification of President-elect . Many lawmakers have blamed Trump for the riots, alleging that his baseless claims of widespread voter fraud were a factor in his election loss. Some have asked Vice President  to invoke the 25th Amendment of the Constitution, which would allow Pence to remove Trump from office until Biden is inaugurated.

"We should be highlighting and celebrating your Administration's many accomplishments on behalf of the American people," DeVos wrote in her resignation letter, a copy of which was sent to Newsweek by the U.S. Department of Education. "Instead, we are left to clean up the mess caused by violent protestors overrunning the U.S. Capitol in an attempt to undermine the people's business. That behavior was unconscionable for our country. There is no mistaking the impact your rhetoric had on the situation, and it is the inflection point for me."

"Impressionable children are watching all this," DeVos added, "and they are learning from us."

President-elect Joe Biden had been a harsh critic of DeVos, telling a National Education Association forum in June 2019 that his first act if elected would be to "make sure that the Secretary of Education is not Betsy DeVos, it is a teacher."

Along with DeVos, Labor Secretary Elaine Chao, Northern Ireland special envoy and former chief of staff Mick Mulvaney, White House social secretary Rickie Niceta and others in Trump's administration have tendered their resignation since the riot.
