GOP Lawmaker Censors Maxwell Frost's Criticism of Bigoted Logic and Student Debt
Republican lawmakers objected to Rep. Maxwell Frost's (D-Fla.) comment accusing them of using "bigoted logic" during discussions on student loan forgiveness, demanding the comment be stricken from the record. Frost withdrew the comment. The remark came during debate about a measure that would end President Biden’s student debt relief and stop the student loan payment pause that began in 2020. Republicans were set to approve the measure, which would face a steep uphill climb in the Democratic-controlled Senate, later Wednesday.
