| Description | Education Secretary Betsy DeVos is pushing back against a social media outcry over her proposal to slash $17.6 million in federal funding for the Special Olympics.
In a statement Wednesday, she blamed the media and some members of Congress for “falsehoods and fully misrepresenting the facts" a day after her defense of the Trump administration budget request during a congressional hearing went viral. Some tweets claimed DeVos had already cut the funding. |
