Exposed! Secret donors behind GOP revolt on Betsy DeVos

• thehornnews.com

Two Republican senators, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Susan Collins of Maine, have announced their intention to oppose Betsy DeVos, meaning the Senate will be split 50-50. Vice President Mike Pence is expected to break the tie.

So what is behind Collins and Murkowski's revolt?

Critics say it's about the money. For years, both senators have been on the receiving end of thousands of dollars in donations by the National Education Association, one of the largest and most powerful teachers unions in the country.

This is notable, because NEA donates almost exclusively to Democrats.

In fact, these two senators combined for nearly 8% of all NEA donations to Republican politicians since 2012.
