Betsy DeVos told her Senate confirmation hearing that the listings were “incorrect” despite records dating back to the 1990s apparently showing otherwise.

Senators confronted her about a perceived history of association between Ms DeVos’ family and anti-LGBTQ organisations, in a heated and often contentious hearing at the Senate Committee for Health, Education, Labor and Pensions.

Betsy DeVos seems very devastated by “clerical error”…. Not… she couldn’t care less!
