You can protest Betsy DeVos' nomination, you can question her experience or preparation - all things which her opponents did to try and block her confirmation as education secretary - but you can't physically intimidate her. As DeVos, the new education secretary despite an all night filibuster, tried to enter a public school Friday morning, protesters blocked the entrance and shouted "shame!" at her.
A local ABC affiliate caught the confrontation. As you can see, the disruptors also tried to block her car from leaving the premises.

Meanwhile, Democrats on the hill have been protesting just about every single one of President Trump's cabinet nominees. Three weeks after becoming president, Trump has about a dozen nominees still waiting in the wings.
