Play of the Day: The Budget, Betsy DeVos and the Special Olympics
Betsy DeVos was in Congress to defend the controversial cuts.
President Donald Trump is reveling in his self-proclaimed exoneration after the Mueller report was delivered to the Department of Justice. Late Late Show's James Corden noted that the White House hasn't even seen the document, joking that the report replaces "the Constitution and the Bible as Trump's favorite documents he hasn't read."
In the Trump administration's 2020 budget request is a cut to all federal funding for the Special Olympics. Education Department chief Betsy DeVos defended the cuts, saying that "The Special Olympics is not a federal program. It’s a private organization. I love its work, and I have personally supported its mission." Late Show's Stephen Colbert joked about the news, saying "obviously, it would be easy to say that's evil. Also, it would be accurate." Jimmy Kimmel joked about DeVos, too, saying "she's auditioning to be the plot in the next Jordan Peele horror movie."
