As we’ve previously reported, the Biden White House’s defenses of Joe Biden’s plan to unilaterally “forgive” billions in student loan debts have ranged from incoherent to downright laughable, with Biden himself having to resort to juvenile whataboutism when asked by reporters if he thought this was unfair to the people who had already paid their student loans off without government help.
However, their most recent defense of Biden’s illegal end-run at the Congressional legislative processes really is the best and their greatest insult to intelligence so far on this topic.
In response to numerous Republican members of Congress criticizing the plan and noting that it’s unfair, the White House Twitter account is…. Shaming the PPP loan recipients:

Read the whole thread.
The big problem with their “this you?” game-playing is that it’s a grotesque apples and oranges comparison, because, for starters, unlike Biden’s student loan forgiveness plan the PPP loan program was passed by Congress, and at a time when the government was forcing businesses to either close or severely cut back on their hours and services due to the COVID pandemic. They were granted (and then forgiven) with the conditions that the loans be used to maintain the company’s financial health and the workers get paid.
That’s just it, it isn’t the same. It’s okay to yell and whine as much as you like. Nobody chose to close down their company. The contract said that the loan would be forgiven if they keep the employees employed. Students chose to borrow money beyond what the contract required.

I mean the highly disingenuous nature of this line of attack of the White House is just staggering, and that’s saying a lot considering that being disingenuous is a job requirement for Democrats, especially in this administration. Democrats full well know the difference between a PPP loan issued during the pandemic when many businesses didn’t have a choice and a voluntary student loan, but are pretending they don’t because getting “yaass kweened” on TwitterIt is more important to the truth than pretending that you own your political opponents and radical leftists.
And as if that wasn’t infuriating enough, what’s even more infuriating is finding out that the person who now runs the White House Twitter account is a woke 25-year-old who we’re being told has made their Twitter feed “devastatingly effective”:
Just five years after interning on Phil Murphy’s 2017 gubernatorial campaign, Livingston native Megan Coyne is on her way to the White House.
Coyne, one of the architects of New Jersey’s hugely successful Twitter account with an attitude departed last week as Murphy’s social media director to join the Biden administration.
“It’s an absolute dream come true to be joining the Office of Digital Strategy as Deputy Director of Platforms,” Coyne said on Twitter on Monday. “So excited for the journey ahead.”
But what a sec, weren’t we promised by Joe Biden that bringing civility and new tone was going to be a priority for his administration? We were.
After President Biden’s election, we were assured that personal attacks from the official government Twitter accounts would be stopped.
The intern who runs the program, I assume? @WhiteHouse Twitter account didn’t get the memo about civility…

As I’ve said before about Democrats, if they didn’t have double standards they’d have no standards at all, and this is a prime example of that.
Now anytime a Republican criticizes a bailout, we can look forward to “but what about your PPP loan??” from the Biden White House, and instead of the mainstream media doing their jobs in pointing out that the two are not the same thing, they’ll remain in their lapdog positions and dutifully “report” on it as though it’s a completely apt comparison.
Everything is foolish.
