Congressman Vern Buchanan had over $2.3 million in PPP loans forgiven.

Rep. Vern Buchanan
@VernBuchanan
As a blue-collar kid who worked his way through college, I know firsthand the sacrifices people make to receive an education.

Biden’s reckless, unilateral student loan giveaway is unfair to the 87 percent of Americans without student loan debt and those who played by the rules.

Congressman Markwayne Mullin had over $1.4 million in PPP loans forgiven.

@RepMullin
We do not need farmers and ranchers, small business owners, and teachers in Oklahoma paying the debts of Ivy League lawyers and doctors across the U.S.

This places undue burden on those already suffering due to the weight of Biden’s failed economic policy.

PROPS, WHITE HOUSE!!!

[Voltaire2]

9. Brilliant indeed.

[GoCubsGo]

10. Which begs the question...

Why the fuck were these assholes allowed to take PPP money? And, for those amounts? Why the hell did Vern Buchanan need $2.3 million in aid????

[TomSlick]

88. The amount available in PPP loans was based on the amount of the applicant's payroll costs.

A PPP loan of $2.3 Million means either a large payroll or the applicant lied under oath in the application.

The government is investigating whether large PPP loans were fraudulent. The statute of limitations was recently expanded to 10 years for any violations to allow for the number of investigations that are on-going or anticipated.

[Beaverhausen]

104. So, members of Congress own businesses and have paid employees?

I sort of assumed that once they took office that would not be allowed and at the least, the business would transfer to another entity to run until said congressperson left office.

I guess I was wrong?

[displacedtexan]

11. Never stop pointing out the hypocrisy!

Establish a permanent office!

trump a run for his money in being one of the worst persons in the world.

Just the glaring hypocrisy is sickening. She knows she had her PPP loan forgiven.

[Crowman2009]

85. I didn't know Cro-MAGAs lived outside of their caves.

I say this because mega MAGAts like Roger Stone and MTG look like they haven't evolved.

Put up or Shut up and payback the government for the loans you received but shouldn't have!

glad the White House is taking the gloves off on this one

[kacekwl]

30. Please continue this on this matter

and the many other hypocritical shit they try to pull.

[LonePirate]

32. New WH staffer Megan Coyne (formerly of NJ Gov Murphy's staff) may be the reason here

https://newjerseyglobe.com/fr/megan-coyne-the-voice-of-new-jersey-is-headed-to-the-white-house/

She led his successful social media team and as of this month, is now working in the White House.

[blue neen]

80. Impressive.

I hope this kind of messaging continues.

[crickets]

82. If this is Coyne's doing she has hit the ground running

& good for her! I look forward to more.

[choie]

34. Now THAT's the way you respond

to these fuckers!

[gratuitous]

35. Watch the incredibly squelched squawking shrivel up and blow away

Here it is, reporters. All spelled out in language that even the reactionary slowcoaches in your audience can grasp: Republican hypocrisy in all its shining glory.

[Nevilledog]

39. Literally my entire timeline is people cheering this.

Really cool to see something blow up in real time.

36. Yes, this is how we play it. Call out the liars.

[Farmer-Rick]

41. Great minds and all that

I posted this at about 2:20 pm today.

"The following filthy rich all had their PPP loans forgiven: Kushner had over $3 Million forgiven, Kanye West had over $2 Million forgiven, Jay-Z had over $2 Million forgiven, Diddy had almost $2 Million forgiven, Khloe Kardashian had almost $1.5 Million forgiven, Jeff Koons had over $1 Million forgiven, Reese Witherspoon had almost $1 Million forgiven, Tom Brady had almost $1 Million forgiven.

Funny how we don't hear screaming about these loans being forgiven after so many have been able to get by with NO PPP loans and paid for the cost of the pandemic themselves."

Press Secretary brings this and the full list, like Gaetz had over $400,000, out to tomorrows meeting with press and asks, Peter Doooshee about a dozen times, talking over him relentlessly, “How ya gonna pay for this Peter”

61. Joe Biden. Kicking ass and naming names.

[Mr. Sparkle]

62. im quite sickened at these huge ppp loans been forgiven

Thats quite a big scandal in itself

[llmart]

64. +1

The fighting back is great and all, but why on earth did these people need these gigantic loans? I thought they were supposed to be for small business owners that suffered greatly during the shutdown.

[vanlassie]

79. Trump Admin graft.

[CatWoman]

63. ....

[relayerbob]

66. Excellent! Call out the hypocrites

[Hekate]

67. Finally we have Dems in the WH who are lightning fast with responses like this

[halfulglas]

68. Can they tweet the same thing every day for at least a week?

I don't know the rules of Tweeting because I don't, but this should be kept alive - with the last few words of (amount thousands or millions) and LOAN FORGIVEN emphasized. Who is really placing the undue burden on the taxpayer? Are they really that upset about the loan forgiveness for education?

[Hermit-The-Prog]

70. They are upset because it's a benefit credited to a Democrat. See 2 Santas scheme (sig line)

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

69. Republicans think they're Gawd's chosen

The rest of us are supposed to pay for them and like it.

[COL Mustard]

71. I would say shame them all....

But I know they have no shame. And in the interest of full transparency, although my Parent PLUS loans are more than what Empty Greene had forgiven, I don't qualify for this forgiveness because we're above the income ceiling...and I think it's appropriate that forgiveness goes to those who aren't as fortunate as we are. But again, in the interest of transparency, I'm a Federal worker, so eventually, presumably, I'll qualify for Public Service Loan Forgiveness and I'll be grateful and happy for that.

[MontanaMama]

72. Beware Dark Brandon.

[area51]

96. Love it.

[malaise]

73. Absolutely fabulous

The next meme is to expose all of those ReTHUGs pretending to be every man/woman and let them know the name of his/her Ivy League college/university

[PatSeg]

75. That is brilliant!

I think Democrats are finally get the hang of this messaging thing!

[Cozmo]

86. It's not enough...

The White House may be reacting but they must put the boot on the neck of the Tea Party and drive a sword through its neck and permanently rid ourselves of the plague of religious fanaticism.

[herding cats]

91. Pretty sure the boot and sword through the neck is on us to do.

We have to show up in record numbers and vote their scuzzy butts out of office in November!

[bluecollar2]

92. No argument from me

But they have the pulpit...

All we can do is organize and vote.

Defeating the Tea Party is going to take more than us just showing up.

The Tea Party knows we're going to step up..

101. Why isn't the DNC doing this?

I've been very disappointed in how the DNC has handled this.

[JudyM]

106. Good question.

[Sanity Claws]

102. Hypocrisy, yes. But don't these PPP loans also raise issues of how these GOPers could be running

businesses when they are supposed to be full-time legislators?
PPP loans were to keep businesses afloat and employees paid for a period during the pandemic. What kind of businesses did they have? Did they really use the loans for the purposes intended?
