Rep. Ilhan Omar called Ted Cruz a “miserable little weasel” for actively seeking out ways to get the Supreme Court to block student loan forgiveness.
Rep. Ilhan Omar on Tuesday called Republican Sen. Ted Cruz a “miserable little weasel” for actively seeking out ways to get the Supreme Court to block President Joe Biden’s plan to cancel $10,000 in student loan debt for most federal borrowers.
The Texas Republican is one of many GOP officials exploring a potential legal challenge to Biden’s student debt relief plan, which is — including those without debt and those who have paid off their debt — and could benefit more than 40 million borrowers across the U.S.in response to news that Cruz and a litigator have been discussing tactics to get the debt relief plan before the Supreme Court, which is packed with Republican appointees.
“Fortunately, student debt cancellation is legally sound and should withstand legal scrutiny,” Omar argued. “Set your alerts for the application in October, if you qualify for relief, and file before the end of December.”
