Crapo aide: 95% of calls against DeVos
U.S. Sens. Mike Crapo and Jim Risch were mum when asked by the press about the calls they’d received re: controversial Education nominee — and now Education Secretary — Betsy DeVos. But about a week ago, Bryan Ricker, regional director for Crapo told the Argus Observer (of Ontario, Ore.) that 95% of the calls were against the DeVos nomination:
“We are getting a lot of calls about the cabinet picks,” Ricker said. “They are being respectful, … and it is what it is.” “[Betsy] DeVos is the one we’re hearing the most about,… and I think 95 percent are against her,” Ricker added, referring to Trump’s pick for Education Secretary.
