Lamar Alexander actually said...

It is a privilege to support the nomination of Betsy DeVos as Secretary of the U.S. Department of Education.

Like the President-elect, Betsy DeVos is a champion of change and reform.

Betsy DeVos will be a forceful advocate for the interests of school children and their parents.

I share my strong support for her confirmation as our next U.S. Secretary of Education.
