After Education Secretary Betsy DeVos was rudely shouted down by left-wing students during a commencement speech at Bethune-Cookman University on Wednesday, NBC’s Today and CBS This Morning actually attempted to justify the disrespectful behavior.

At the top of Today, co-host Savannah Guthrie touted the incident: “Chilly Reception. Education Secretary Betsy DeVos gets booed during a commencement speech at a historically black college. What was behind the anger and how the school is defending it’s choice to let her speak.” Footage played of DeVos being jeered.
