As Donald Trump prepares for his appearance today at the @ConstitutionCtr, I want to remind everyone that the institution was largely built by the DeVos Family.

Over the years, the DeVos Family, has given tens of millions of dollars to the Constitution Center, directly, through family foundations, and through Amway.
Their current Trustee Chair is Doug DeVos, who has held that post since 2012. 8 years is getting long in the tooth for not having rotated your board chair, btw @RosenJeffrey. https://www.mlive.com/business/west-michigan/2012/02/amway_president_doug_devos_tak.html">https://www.mlive.com/business/...
Despite being five years out of date, here is a nice rundown by @OpenSecretsDC of their influence on @ConstitutionCtr & just how partisan its leadership is. https://www.opensecrets.org/news/2015/07/at-the-national-constitution-center-all-money-is-created-equal/">https://www.opensecrets.org/news/2015...
As you may recall, @ConstitutionCtr & @RosenJeffrey provided this absolute sham of an "student town hall" platform for @BetsyDeVosED two years ago. This type of transparently craven whitewashing should not be able to hide behind a 501(c)(3) status.

“It is easy to be nasty hiding behind screens and Twitter handles,” she said. “It& #39;s not so easy face to face.” - @BetsyDeVosED at the Constitution Center, Sept 17, 2018. https://www.mcall.com/news/education/mc-nws-devos-constituation-center-20180917-story.html">https://www.mcall.com/news/educ...
Yeah, "irony" is a rather kind way of labeling it... https://www.washingtonpost.com/education/2018/09/20/its-hard-overstate-irony-betsy-devoss-talk-about-free-speech-civics-education/">https://www.washingtonpost.com/education...
Oooh, here& #39;s a fun tool! See they don& #39;t blow all their riches on yachts & ugly ass homes. They have a sense of "civic responsibility"! #phillyprotest #TrumpInPhilly
