Washington The federal security detail assigned to Education Secretary Betsy DeVos is expected to cost taxpayers more than $26 million during President Donald Trump's first term, according to the US Marshals Service.
Her security cost $6.2 million over the past year -- which was less than expected -- and is projected to cost $7.9 million between now and the end of September 2020, the US Marshals Service said Wednesday. Politico first reported the cost.It's uncommon for the Marshals Service to protect Cabinet members, who usually receive security protection through their individual agencies.
Yet the public service loan forgiveness program is in shambles... guess they figured the money could be better spent on Devos' security detail.
Cost of protecting her from liberal crazies is definitely expensive.
And our VETS GET SHIT ON!!!! Government spending is RUINING OUR COUNTRY.. do they NOT UNDERSTAND PUBLIC SERVANTS?
Not worth it.
Shes a billionaire. Make her pay for her own security.
Why?
If accurate given says ‘expected’ is it really that dangerous for DeVos to require that?! How much for the others?
Ok good 😎💋👍💝🇰🇷🐅👄👄❤️💚💙👑💕
How much did it cost for them to protect Lois Lerner? Maybe you guys can look into some real news
Why couldn't Trump just steal this money rather than raiding FEMA funds for his alligator infested moat and flesh-piercing spiked wall.
Why would an education secretary need protection? More wasted money under this administration. If she requires this fire her. Same with Pruitt when he said threats were made against him and also had to fly first class. No justification.
Don't worry just cut public school funding
Yea, so? What are the security cost for Harris, Booker, Beto and the rest of these dip-sticks? More nonsense reporting by Circus News Network!
Because of the crazy leftists.
BetsyDeVosED DeVos requires so much security because she is so hated wherever she goes she's in fear of her safety
To be very fair, she does have a very punchable face and punchable ethics.
Boo🥶
It just gets better and better doesn't it.
well if the democrats would stop threatening her and sending out their antifa thugs, then maybe it would not have to be this way, but they are one crazy bunch of democrats who have lost their minds completely lathered up in hate and intolerance pitting race against race,
Who would want to hurt the Ed Sec? Why does she need a security detail?
How special, what a waste of taxpayers money
She ain’t worth 26 cents
shesnotworthit
So what , never heard you complain under a Democrat presidency
So roughly $6m a year.
Why does the SEC of Education need security?
Bull crap!
I winder how many teachers or supplies we could invest in if BetsyDeVosED wasnt in office and wasting taxpayer dollars. So many better options
Sad that the left continues to terrorize her, sick, hateful group
That’s a travesty against the American people, add the money the Trumps are raping from the taxpayer and there’s no wonder the debt keeps rising, disgusting!
She is the SWAMP!! Send her the bill!
yup. she needs the extra protection because of unhinged CNN viewers. CNN should pay the cost.
Libs threaten everyone in the Trump administration, then complain about the cost of protection from them!
Ahem, first term? Yeah no it’s his only term.
Bet they are all private and billed by her brother.
That is almost the cost of the entire Muller investigation. Republicans need to stop complaining about the cost of the Muller investigation.
Wow.
Maybe if the Secretary of Education was actually advocating for education and not doing everything she can to undermine her mission she might not face such deserved antagonism. I also question the threat. We saw Scott Pruitt claim the same thing and proven to have lied.
Of course. Just look what happened to Scalise
If left wing 🥜 would stop threatening and harassing her. Problem solved.
Why, just freaking why!
She wouldn’t need it if deranged left wingers wouldn’t of threatened her life
We don't need any billionaires running anything in our lowly government.
Due to the Democrat Radical Left Rhetoric is Unhinged and Violent “Activist” Groups like Antifa
Pry cause you recommend random people off the street to get into her face during a dinner with her family....🤷🏼♂️
Almost as much as the fake Russian hoax that cost taxpayers over 20 million!
And?
Probably needed. A friend told me that in time past guys like Thomas Jefferson would walk to his inauguration from his house and he'd practically high-5 people on the way to being sworn in.
