Betsy DeVos dressed as Ms. Frizzle for Halloween and everyone's thrilled! No just kidding...

Source: Mashable

Amidst the indictments of former top Trump campaign officials through Robert Mueller's investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election, the president and the first lady hosted the traditional White House Halloween party on Monday evening.

While many members of the Trump administration opted not to wear costumes, Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos attended the party as Ms. Frizzle from The Magic School Bus. Interesting!

Ms. Frizzle, of course, was a school teacher/scientist with a permit to drive a school bus and also a witch or a magician or something. Betsy DeVos is a billionaire without an education degree and zero experience working in a school environment who recently repealed 72 documents outlining the rights of students with disabilities in schools.

Anyway, here she is:

This is too scary even for Halloween!

Looks like a Terry Gilliam creation.

She was the composite of every sadistic teacher I ever had.
(My eighth grade English teacher in particular).
I have never felt such hated for a fictional character.

Lord Voldy was a stereotypical, paint-by-the-numbers kind of guy, IMHO.
