Fox News Host Just Accidentally Proposed Elizabeth Warren's Plan to Eliminate Student Loan Debt Without Even Realizing

Fox News Host Just Accidentally Proposed Elizabeth Warren's Plan to Eliminate Student Loan Debt Without Even Realizing

He walked right into that one.

Students of this year's graduating class of Morehouse College got the surprise of their lives recently when billionaire commencement speaker Robert F. Smith announced that he would be paying off the student loan debt of every Morehouse graduate of 2019.

While the gesture was undoubtedly generous, it speaks to the vast problem of inflated student loans across the country, pinning many graduates in debt before they've had a chance to build their careers.


Conservative Fox News host Jesse Watters offered a solution to the problem, and it involves more generous billionaires.

Watch below:

"Why don't we just get a bunch of billionaires, you know like Bezos, Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, maybe they can pony up a few billion to clear the student loan debt."

Interestingly enough, that's exactly what 2020 presidential contender and Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) has proposed.

Warren's plan would forgive $50,000 of student loan debt for most American families, and it would be paid for by a wealth tax, which includes a 3% tax on billionaires.

Twitter was quick to roast Watters, who recently accused Warren and other Democratic presidential candidates of "shunning billionaires."

Some tried to defend him and the argument swiftly fell apart.

What an epic self-burn.

Speaking to anchor Jake Tapper on CNN last April, Ohio Republican Mike Turner said that Russian propaganda had "infected" the GOP in a clip that has resurfaced after President-elect Donald Trump had him ousted as House Intelligence Committee chair.

At the time, Turner made it clear that his fellow Republicans were parroting Russian propaganda about the war in Ukraine and its relationship with NATO members. That claim came after House Foreign Affairs Committee chair Michael McCaul, who said he thinks "Russian propaganda has made its way into the United States, unfortunately, and it’s infected a good chunk of my party’s base."
