This Friday, America will witness the transition of power from one
president to the next, when President Barack Obama ends his tenure as
Commander-In-Chief and hands the reins over to Donald Trump. And like the forecast for this Friday, things are looking gloomy
for the Trump Inauguration with nearly 50 Democratic legislators boycotting
after Trump took aim at Representative John Lewis for remarks he made about the
Trump Presidency. One of those Representatives who is participating in the boycott
is Congressman Ted Lieu of California, who has said he won’t help in the
normalizing of Trump’s behavior. He returns to the show to talk about the boycott as well as the transition efforts now…
Today in an op-ed piece for The Advocate, my guest says, “Donald Trump’s Education secretary nominee, Betsy DeVos, is
an antigay, anti-public education ideologue who poses a threat to the
institution of public education and the safety of LGBTQ students.” Needless to say, Betsy DeVos is just yet
another controversial pick for this incoming administration. Joining me to talk about why she would be a
danger for children is Randi Weingarten, President of the American Federation
of Teachers.
