WASHINGTON — The White House is pushing back on criticism from Republicans in Congress about his student loan forgiveness plan by highlighting that some of those same lawmakers got loan relief during the coronavirus pandemic.
U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene was the first lawmaker to be called out after a video surfaced of her criticizing the student loan debt relief measure on the conservative TV network Newsmax.
“They (taxpayers) shouldn’t have to pay off the great big student loan debt for some college students that pile up massive debt going to some Ivy League school,” Greene said.
