Video shows dad rage at Elizabeth Warren over loan forgiveness after he paid for daughter’s school

Recently resurfaced video shows a frustrated father raging at Elizabeth Warren over the politician’s loan forgiveness aspirations during an event in 2020, after he paid his daughter’s way through school but was told he would not be entitled to a refund.

The heated confrontation transpired in Iowa during Warren’s ill-fated run for president, which saw her vow to cancel student loan debt up to $50,000 for roughly 42 million borrowers if elected.

In the clip, the furious dad rips into Warren over the prospective policy, citing how he worked two jobs to pay for his daughter’s education, while those who did not take such measures would serve to benefit from the progressive’s prospective policy.

Now, however, despite the Massachusetts senator’s failure to garner a nomination, that father’s fears have become a reality – with Joe Biden announcing Wednesday he will forgive debt of up to $10,000, making good on a promise made during his own campaign.

The unnamed man in the clip, much like other conservatives wary of loan forgiveness policies, argues that plans to cancel student loan debt would offer an unfair financial disadvantage to those who paid their own college tuition – or those who had already paid off their debt.

Inversely, detractors argue, such plans would also unjustly benefit those who took out astronomical loans so they can spend lavishly during their college years – when they should remain in desperate debt.

The fed-up father offers these sentiments to Warren in the contentious clip, which was widely shared back when the incident occurred and is now making a second run at going viral, as Biden revealed his long-anticipated decision on the issue, after loan payments had been paused since the early days of the pandemic.

‘I just want to ask one question,’ the man says in the clip approaching Warren after a speech to explain his situation. ‘My daughter is getting out of school. I’ve saved all my money. She doesn’t have any student loans.’

He then flat out asks the Democrat: ‘Am I going to get my money back?’ 

Warren, who was filmed listening to the unidentified man’s qualms patiently as a crowd flocked around them, responds, sounding almost astounded by the man’s question: ‘Of course not.’

The father proceeds to fly into a rage, and starts to tear into the politician.

‘So you’re going to pay for people who didn’t save any money, and those of us who did the right thing get screwed?’ he exclaims, his voice raising and growing more tense.

He went on: ‘My buddy had fun, bought a car, went on vacation.

‘I saved my money. He made more than I did. I worked a double shift working to get extra money.’

At this point in the footage, Warren says something inaudible to the man, who in turn accuses the senator of laughing and making light of his situation.

‘You’re laughing at me,’ he tells the then presidential candidate.

Warren, in turn, retorts: ‘No, I’m not.’ 

‘Yeah, that’s exactly what you’re doing,’ the dad quips back. ‘We did the right thing and we got screwed.’

The senator then shakes the man’s hand before he angrily storms off.

‘I appreciate your time,’ Warren can be heard telling the furious father, as she continued to meet with others at the rally.

Less than a year later, Warren would bow out of the presidential race in favor of Biden, 79, who also campaigned, but not as aggressively, on promises of forgiving student debt.
