Linda McMahon Got Body-Slammed Over Bogus Education Degree

President-elect Donald Trump’s education secretary nominee Linda McMahon previously resigned from a high-ranking education post after her qualifications began to publicly unravel.

In 2009, the former WWE CEO was confirmed to Connecticut’s state board of education following a contentious hearing, in which critics questioned her fitness for the role if she remained involved in professional wrestling’s often controversial TV content.

McMahon’s answers to a questionnaire about her background, reportedly reviewed by then-Gov. Jodi Rell, were touted in a bid to buttress her credentials. However, several of McMahon’s answers were later revealed to be lies.

Among her answers was a claim that she received a bachelor’s degree in education from East Carolina University in 1969, which turned out to be untrue. Her degree was in French.
