C. A. DeVos’s calling for the closing of the Dept. Of Education reminds me of Lynne Cheney more than a generation ago. She had been chair of the National Endowment for the Humanities, where she had done some pretty good things. A few years later, when the NEH ‘displeased’ her, she aggressively sought its abolition. Sick birds of the same feather seem to stick together.

Jeri Lynne Cheney’s husband, heavily involved in the disastrous 2003 Iraq invasion, was nicknamed ‘the big Dick’, which was not a compliment.
Devos’s younger brother is Eric Prince. His former company, Blackwater, was a private army of mercenaries who, for a few years, worked for CIA and the State Department. In Iraq some of his employees shot Iraqi citizens in cold blood. Subsequently he has been involved in shady arms and airplane deals.
He just happened to meet a top Russian in the Seychelles in January, 2017. {In fact he had been briefed on this guy and this seemed an effort to establish a back door connection to Trump.) He denied this and later seemed to diss his denial.
As for his personal character: while his first wife was dying, he had an affair with her nurse.
He and his sister benefitted from a billionaire father. DeVos/Prince and Dick/Lynne Cheney deserve a special spot in hell. There may be judicial actions pending against Eric Prince for his highly questionable shenanigans.

I remember Lynne, Both Cheneys contributed to the mess Liz finds herself in today, us as well.
