On Wednesday, President Joe Biden announced his student loan forgiveness plan of canceling between $10,000 and $20,000 of debt per borrower for those making $125,000 or less. 

There was plenty of news media reaction, including from Fox News’ Jeanine Pirro, who stated on “The Five” that the move from the president was “a giveaway.” 

Furthermore, she mentioned she did not need to borrow to pay for school because her family footed the bill. 

“This is a giveaway way to a group of people the president needs to get elected,” Pirro said, per Mediaite

“The sad part is there’s no talk of responsibility, no talk about contract law, the fact that you went in and you said you wanted to borrow money, you signed on the dotted line, you agreed to pay.”

Additionally, Pirro expressed it’s contradictory for Biden to boast about the economy while insisting borrowers need relief.

“And yet they’re saying, ‘Look, if you’re from a household of up to $250,000, we’ll give you 10 or $20,000 if you can’t pay back your student loans,’” Pirro said. 

Pirro continued by saying the policy is part of “a socialist state” before explaining she feels terribly for individuals who have repaid their loans in full. 

“My heart bleeds for the people who actually went out and paid for their loans, who went without things, whose families said, “I’m sorry, we can’t afford to pay for your loans,” Pirro said.

“Look, my family paid for my education. I’m sure they had better things to do with their money. I didn’t have to take out a loan because they paid for it. But they worked hard for their money.”

Jake Tapper: ‘My Faith Only Guides My Journalism’

“I know what it’s like to be a religious minority so I apply that across the board.”

CNN’s Jake Tapper is one of the country’s most high-profile Jewish anchors and recently spoke with colleague Oliver Darcy for a lengthy interview.

Among the topics was the rise of antisemitism across the globe, and Darcy asked whether Tapper has seen a spike in bigoted attacks toward him. The CNN host notes what it’s like to be a religious minority and applies it to the way he covers the news.

“My faith only guides my journalism in the sense that I know what it’s like to be a religious minority so I apply that across the board to Muslims, Mormons, Catholics, and to everyone else,” Tapper told Darcy. “I don’t assume that because someone is of one particular faith that they have certain views.

“That’s about it. I see the war as a journalist and as a human. I want the human suffering to end now. And I would prefer a world where all peoples can live with democracy and self-determination. 

“This is a time where antisemitism is without a doubt on the rise and I’ve certainly seen an uptick online, but ugly words are just that: words. It’s nothing compared to what the people in Israel and Gaza and the West Bank are currently going through.”

Jake Tapper was recently in the news regarding his Jewish faith after radio host Mark Levin called media figures like Wolf Blitzer, Tapper, and MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell “self-hating Jews”. In response, both CNN and the White House condemned the comments from Levin.
