U.S. Education Secretary, Betsy DeVos, has resigned in protest against U.S. President Donald Trump after his supporters stormed the Capitol building.
The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reported the development on Thursday, citing the resignation letter.
“That behaviour (violent riot) was unconscionable for our country.
“There is no mistaking the impact your (Trump) rhetoric had on the situation, and it is the inflexion point for me,’’ DeVos said in a letter to Trump, as quoted by the WSJ.
Earlier on Thursday, U.S. Transportation Secretary, Elaine Chao, has also resigned due to the Wednesday violence and described it as deeply-troubling.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 7 (Xinhua) With White House officials resigning in protest at the chaos and violence that overran the Capitol by supporters of President Donald Trump, the outgoing leader on Thursday issued a call for unity and promised an orderly transfer of power.
A large crowd of Trump s supporters forced their way into the Capitol on Wednesday afternoon when Congress met to formally count the Electoral College votes and affirm Biden s win.
The chaotic and disruptive situation, described by police as the greatest breach of the U.S. Capitol since the War of 1812, forced an hours-long lockdown on the historic building complex and left four people dead, with multiple injuries and dozens of arrests. Thousands of individuals were involved in violent riotous actions, according to Capitol Police.

(CNSNews.com) - Education Secretary Betsy DeVos submitted her letter of resignation on Thursday in the wake of the mob attack on the U.S. Capitol Building.
In a letter to President Donald Trump, the secretary said, “There is no mistaking the impact your rhetoric had on the situation, and it is the inflection point for me.”
“We should be highlighting and celebrating your Administration’s many accomplishments on behalf of the American people. Instead, we are left cleaning up the mess caused by violent protestors overrunning the U.S. Capitol in an attempt to undermine the people’s business. That behavior was unconscionable for our country. There is no mistaking the impact your rhetoric had on the situation, and it is the inflection point for me,” DeVos wrote in the letter.
