(Alternate title: "Sean Hannity Ups His Douchebag Cred" )
Fox News host Sean Hannity on Wednesday blasted President Joe Biden’s plan to forgive some student debt after acknowledging that it would likely benefit some of his own staffers.
Conservatives and Fox News hosts were up in arms over Biden’s announcement Wednesday that certain borrowers earning less than $125,000 annually may be forgiven up to $20,000 in student loan debt.
Hannity, who’s reportedly paid upwards of $30 million a year, noted that there were Fox News employees who could be eligible to have some of their debt canceled.
“The people that likely will benefit the most are middle class. You know, think about it. You get out of college, you’re not making a lot of money,” Hannity said on his radio show Wednesday. “We have a lot of young people that work on my TV show, they’re not making a $125,000. They’re now eligible to get in some cases up to $20,000 and in other cases $10,000. This is New Green Deal radical socialism.”
(So, he actually admits that the middle class- people like me- will benefit here. But he doesn't seem to realize that he's undercutting his own argument.)
