Satirist Randy Rainbow is at it again with his "interview" of Education Secretary Betsy DeVos, who in a recent 60 Minutes interview, proved she knows very little about her job, except for the damage she's done, like rescinding protections for transgender students, rolling back campus sexual assault guidelines, and slashing guidelines for disabled students.

In a 60 Minutes-esque profile, Rainbow says, "The wealthiest member of Donald Trump's cabinet, Betsy DeVos looks like a Macy's Thanksgiving Day balloon of Helen Mirren and thinks the #MeToo movement is absolutely adorable."

At one point during his faux interview with a stumbling DeVos, he asks, "Are you a little bit high right now?"

"When she's not busy decoupaging or defunding public education she can be found at local elementary schools interviewing potential secretaries of state," Rainbow continues.
