The White House hit back at Republicans by using its account to go after them for bashing President Joe Biden's decision to cancel some student debt after they personally benefited from having Paycheck Protection Program loans forgiven.
The White House highlighted several congressional Republicans who it said had tens of thousands of dollars in loans forgiven.
Lawmakers have criticized Biden over his student loan decision.
The White House said that the person who said on Newsmax that it was "unfair" for student loans to be forgiven had $183,000 in forgiven loans.
The White House said that Kelly had almost $1 million forgiven after he said that Biden's move would benefit Wall Street advisers.
Up to $10,000 in debt cancellation is available to borrowers who earn less than $125,000 a year. The majority of student loan borrowers will be eligible for an additional $10,000 in debt relief from the federal government.
The Paycheck Protection Program offered loans that could be forgiven if the companies spent the money on business expenses. Over the years, the requirements for federal student loan forgiveness have become more strict.
According to the White House, Biden's move was "reckless" and a "student loan handout."
The White House highlighted the amount of criticism and forgiveness of loans from Mullin and Hern.
NBC News reached out to every lawmaker.
Mullin said Biden was unfairly targeting business owners for protecting their employees during the height of the swine flu.
