Listening to this conversation convinces me that we should double our spending on education.

@nobody687

Gee what happened in 1980 that changed that,, hmmm. Reganomics. He turned out to be a horrible president

@Drediggy

One, he said it wrong. Two, why is she acting like she didn't hear what he said? Three, she isn't an educator and shouldn't have this job.

@Wintermute87

She answered in the past tense and immediately without flinching lied that she misunderstood and thought he meant now. These are some of the absolute worst politicians in history

N/A

In 1979, something tells me those were her two worst subjects in school.😮😮

@WDOphotography

We spent 1/5th of our budget in education then. We spend far less now and they want to cut it back even more plus give a huge chunk of it to corporations. This country is cooked

@BrokenHeart1986-f7i

Linda is CLEARLY not a fit for the job. I don't care if it's a favor; that's no excuse.

@shirleyrussell7089

She knows absolutely nothing about the job she has been given.

@jpblack2148

She sounded so proud when she said "we were very very low" just come out with it and say you want people uneducated.

@radonnmusgrove8740

What “was” we ranked ? That’s priceless and her not knowing the answer, then lying was the cherry on top…

@citiboikidd6372

"What WAS we...."???? 
And America wants to close down the Dept of Education??!!!

@sunshinelizard1

She continues to seem unfazed by not being able to answer basic questions; that's how little she cares.

@gregl6415

Really hits home how far literacy has fallen in this country when the question opens with “What was we ranked nationally” and is followed by the secretary not knowing the answer

@eileens.7930

She’s a joke

@janelleabbott2227

She heard him the first time😂😂

@TGil11

This lady is about as clueless as you’d expect the education secretary of the Trump administration to be. So to MAGA she’s a genius.

@jeffreymoscardelli8428

She has no background in education what a clown show

@rakrega

After she got this question wrong too, she immediately pretended she didn't hear it right. Let's do a Trumpy 😴

@jonathancarmona212

Wait .....did a US senator just say " what WAS we ranked?"

@siriusnut36

"What was we ranked nationally?" Well sir...your school must not have been ranked well because...and that woman working at anything even remotely related to education is a travesty and a complete embarrassment for our nation.
