Betsy DeVos, despite being one of the most opposed Secretary of Educations in history, and having a horrible track record in Michigan's failing school district, and completely botching her senate interviews for the position, was the first ever Secretary of Education to earn the position via tie-breaker by a vice president.
DeVos faced not only a lot of opposition from Democrats, but some Republican Senators voted against her as well, not to mention the large public outcry, constant calls, and social media campaigns against her being selected for the position.
She was even physically blocked by protesters from entering a D.C. public school today.

It's quite possible she's the most controversial Secretary of Education pick the United States has ever had, so when she took to Twitter to try and make an inspiring/lighthearted Facebook post about getting on the job of making America's education great again, well, Twitter did what it did best.
It roasted her mercilessly for it.
@BetsyDeVos not in the thousands of public schools that can barely afford supplies. Looking forward to you cleaning that lil issue up.

I mean, we're talking super merciless.
@BetsyDeVos I don't know, maybe go to a public school and get one?

@BetsyDeVos you realize how NOT funny this is since most teachers buy their own supplies. But I bet you're gonna pink slip them anyway.

@BetsyDeVos You worked a whole day but didn't have anything to write with? Maybe you could hold a bake sale to buy some pencils.

.@BetsyDeVos You came to and did work with no pencil? That's a materials infraction in many classrooms. Or perhaps you were unaware of this.

@BetsyDeVos In one of the thousands of public schools you're about to destroy.

@BetsyDeVos You gave the @GOP $200 million and not one of them will help you find supplies? @marcorubio?
— eBaum's World (@ebaumsworld) February 9, 2017
@BetsyDeVos I hope the one you find has a good eraser. I have a feeling you're gonna be making lots of mistakes.

@BetsyDeVos This isn't funny. You couldn't answer basic questions about education during your hearing.

@thismyshow @BetsyDeVos it's never enough with these people is it?

@BetsyDeVos A true educator wouldn't have to ask... we carry them with us at all times

@BetsyDeVos At the store. Something you should know: we teachers buy pencils and supplies for our classes with our OWN money.
