Bill Maher Slams Biden for Using His Tax Dollars to Fund Campus Jew-Hating with New Student Loan Plan
Bill Maher, host of “Real Time,” has sparked controversy with his criticism of President Biden’s student loan forgiveness proposal. Maher expressed concern that his tax dollars would be indirectly funding what he referred to as “Jew-hating” on college campuses.
During a panel discussion, Maher highlighted the high cost of the student debt cancellation plan, ranging from $870 billion to $1.4 trillion. He criticized the cycle of colleges raising tuition, students taking out loans, and the government ultimately paying off those loans with taxpayer money.
Fox News contributor Kellyanne Conway joined Maher in denouncing the student loan forgiveness, arguing that it unfairly burdens blue-collar workers who end up subsidizing the education of future doctors and lawyers.
The discussion also touched on the political implications of Biden’s proposal, with Bloomberg Businessweek correspondent Joshua Green noting that it has not resonated with young voters. Maher pointed out that recent polls show former President Trump gaining support among the youth demographic.
The panelists further criticized the Biden administration for failing to address anti-Israel sentiment on college campuses, which they believe has contributed to the erosion of support among young voters. Conway highlighted the reluctance of some Democrats, including members of the “Squad,” to condemn terrorist groups like Hezbollah and Hamas, which she argued has fostered an environment of antisemitism on campuses.
Overall, Maher and his guests expressed frustration with the current state of affairs in higher education and the political landscape, suggesting that Biden’s student loan forgiveness plan may have unintended consequences.
