Betsy DeVos defends reducing Special Olympics funding

On Thursday Betsy DeVos defended the cut in her department that proposed to reduce federal spending for the Special Olympics. DeVos argued that the Special Olympics doesn’t have a need for federal funding because it is a private organization that receives many contributions. Although, President Trump soon fired back and said “The Special Olympics will be funded. I just told my people, I want to fund the Special Olympics and I just authorized a funding of the Special Olympics”. This issue somewhat degrades DeVos credibility while slightly strengthening President Trump's because he will not back down with regards to funding for special needs children.
