The Biden White House is putting Marjorie Taylor Greene, Matt Gaetz and other Republicans on blast for slamming student loan relief, as they had federal loans forgiven.
“It’s completely unfair,” Greene said earlier Wednesday.
What happened: The White House hit conservative firebrand Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) and some other House Republicans by name as they criticized President Joe Biden’s decision to forgive student loan debt for millions of people on Wednesday.

Funny how these republicans say Covid is fake, but still applied for all these Covid relief funds. Makes you think

You can point out Republican hypocrisy on PPP and their own bailouts all day. You're right to do so. But none of that helps Democrats defuse the class-warfare nature of forgiving student loans. What works for the GOP does not work for Dems.

The @WhiteHouse is going all in comparing PPP loan forgiveness to student debt forgiveness. It’s a terrible analogy because A) PPP loans were designed to be forgiven if conditions met & B) They were designed **by Congress.** What Biden is doing is lawless fiat *and* bad policy.
