if i wanted to make devos a sympathetic figure to the left i'd leak that exact story

course the problem with this is i have no idea what that accomplishes so whatever the 19th dimensional chess move is here i'm not seeing it

maybe it's also just the case that people who've never done policy tend to be blank slates and often times change in weird ways despite seemingly held ideologies when they get in an administrative position.

You see this a lot with Republicans like Devos. They would never pass any of these LGBT protections, but at they same time they have enough awareness to know that repealing them is wrong. As far as they are concerned, the matter does not need to be revisited. Gorsuch will be the same way on abortion and marriage equality. If he were on the court deciding at the time, he would have ruled against it, but now that it's been in place there is little sense is going back and repealing them.

If they haven't denounced him they are willing collaborators and deserve no sympathy.

Barron's existence undermines the hell outta Trump's ubermensch posturing though, so much for your flawless genes Hitler Jr.

DeVos is a very dim ideologue and it's pointless to speculate on her (very lilkely bizarre) reasoning because she has no record or experience. Maybe she's a michelle bachmann 'hides in the bushes in legit fear of violent gays' evangelical, and was just looking out for her own personal safety.

often times when you take people with vague ideologies who have never actually transformed it into day to day policy, they end up doing weird things that don't coincide with what their ideology theoretically says that they should be doing. It was part of the reason that people like DeVos, Carson, arguably Tillerson & Mnuchin are surprising from an administrative level. You don't actually know what sort of things they're going to try to do when they're placed in a position where they need to turn whatever vague feelings they have into concrete government action.
