Education Secretary Betsy DeVos’ security detail is projected to cost $7.87 million from now through the end of September 2020, a spokesperson for the U.S. Marshals Service told POLITICO today

.

DeVos’ security detail is highly unusual — the past four Education secretaries have been protected by the Education Department’s own small security force. Her security detail was initially ordered by former Attorney General Jeff Sessions.

This is nuts

not worth it

Baldwin7166 Armed grizzly bears

Good gosh! Definitely not worth it!!!!

Let her pay it.

Seriously? What is so valuable about her that Americans have to pay millions?

Wow. If It costs this much to protect this idiot, just imagine the cost to protect the dumbest President in history.

Jamestoupin In the 70s in NZL our PM used to walk to work without security. Our current PM does have a security detail but our Cabinet Members do not. I know you can’t compare the US to NZL but this does appear to be OTT.

What are we protecting her from.?

Another grifter.

Must....protect....the stupid.....

Waste of $

RiseUpandResist Ugh! Let her fend for herself as she lets children in public school do

YOU are paying for this with your hard earned tax dollars!

Another congressional investigation is needed for this! This is excessive

gd those crafty sniper bears... they're costing us a fortune! will someone please find out where they're getting the park ranger hats? oh - and make the billionaire wicked bitch of the midwest pay for people not to shoot her. maybe her brother.

The media declared war Devos .... its your own fault

kentingley I’m curious to know how much of this is her perceiving she’s threatened vs how much of it’s real. (This is a rhetorical question btw)

THATS BECAUSE THE DUMB BITCH IS SOOOOO IMPORTANT...

Nobody even fkin knows who she is

Not a problem. Just reduce taxes on the rich further and it’s covered. Right, Republicans ?

Billionaires can pay for their own security.

The intolerant left is threatening anyone they don’t agree with.

Why does she need a security detail?

Teach3ca Is she afraid dorothy's house is going to fall on her?

Wow, she is special.

Wow 😮— that’s many school lunches, ‘eh?

WTF

That's a huge swamp drain there

WTF !!

With teachers who can’t afford the cost of living & schools in urgent need of money, why in the hell are we taxpayers paying for this witch’s crazy expensive security detail? So the department is cost cutting the department to pay for the evil queen safety!

That should be on her tab.

This person is the biggest empty suit in the history of suits...empty or otherwise.

And why are we protecting her? She is very wealthy and probably already has a body guard. And is so incompetent at her job. She doesn’t deserve tax-dollar security.

Swampy Trump and his administration!

Seriously?

Make her pay for her own security

Oh then! We see the priorities!

AmandaS15866691 🤮

She should pay for it herself maybe sell one of her yachts she has 10!

nyc_erik I soooo want to see that wretched woman's face when she is booted with Trump and the rest of his creatures.

Maybe if BetsyDeVosED put forth better education policy she wouldn't need so much protection!

She isn’t worth a plugged nickel

Trump University president and CEO awaiting trial

How many teachers could this pay? How many lunches? How many school supplies?

Maybe you could research how Obama, who made $3.2 million in office, could afford three properties worth $25 million?

Perhaps we could invest that money in the public school system instead.

Why?

So, I’m guessing it would’ve costed about the same during the Obama years? But it would be journalistic to report that. Maybe she needs more security because left wing groups like AntiFa pose a serious threat.

Why does she need security?

Folks - don’t complain about how much it costs to keep our top officials safe. Even if you don’t like them. This is not the place to save money.

For someone who hasn't clue.

She definitely needs security, as she is from HELL!! I personally wouldn’t touch a hair on her ugly ass head, but assuming many would like to!

Well worth it. She has done so much for our country’s education system.🙄

Oh, come on!!! How many school lunches is that? How many robotics kits for poor schools is that? How many books for kids who don’t have books? How many access points for kids who dont have the internet at home? Unreal! UNREAL!

Crazy

We have to protect the 1% while they scam millions.

Why on earth? Betsy DeVos such a fraud!

Unfortunately with all the crazy Dems out there Ms DeVos requires that level of security.

but, but, but Hillary's emails! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Submarine_Guy She needs to call an UBER or LYFT, or maybe actually walk sometimes.

She is simply not worth spending this kind of money to protect such an incompetent secretary of education. She has plenty of money, have her pay for it!impeachtrump

SHE SUCKS.

Why can’t she pay for this ? Maybe sell one of her 11 yachts to help?

Ridiculous

I wonder if deadbeat Donald is hiring her brother (Blackwater) to guard her. Nepotism +

Why does she need a security detail?

The Education Secretary is nuts.

I want my tax money back

Gee, I wonder who caused the security causes to go up? Yes, the unhinged leftist terrorists.

RevDrJamesJaco2 Now, why?

Wasting my 1040

Meanwhile I worked in a public school where the fire alarms were turned off because the roof leaked and the dripping rain water set off the smoke detectors / fire alarms during class.

Why? why? Why, does the Secretary of Education need a security detail? Isn’t her bro Erik Prince? Doesn’t he have a private army? I want off of this ride.

Another trumper turd floating around in the trump family swamp wasting taxpayers money to feel important. Why does this woman need a security detail? This is just more wasting taxpayers money which is the only thing that the trump turds are good at.

She wouldn't need a detail if she had her Concealed Carry. The best way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun, right?

God the return on investment here is staggering.
