Everything old is new again!
Newly confirmed Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos was physically blocked from entering a school in Washington, D.C. on Friday by protesters.
Anti-DeVos demonstrators climbed the stairs of the back of the school building and began to scream and hover around the secretary. DeVos' security team quickly moved in and escorted her back to her car.
ABC 7 reporter Sam Sweeney, who tweeted video of the incident, said it was unclear if DeVos tried to use another door.
DeVos remained unfazed by the protesters while two other reporters tried to get a comment from her.
One protester screamed "Shame! Shame! Shame!" as her security detail tried to leave.
A man could be seen holding a "Black Lives Matter" sign as he stood in front of Devos' black Chevy Suburban, trying to block the vehicle from leaving.
DeVos Physically Blocked by Protesters From Entering DC School
It's simply amazing how all these grassroots protests just spontaneously pop up just in time. Complete with signs, slogans and outrage. It's almost as if this is being coordinated by an evil mad man from a hidden base. Naw this is to outrageous to even consider. Besides their are many outstanding investigative journalists who probably considered this and quickly dismissed it as a conspiracy theory.

Protesters can be heard in the video screaming that DeVos gave money to senators so that she could buy her position to head the Department of Education.— Sam Sweeney (@SweeneyABC) February 10, 2017
