As Twitchy readers know, Democrat staffer Ben Kamens bragged about Biden canceling his school loan debt QUITE publicly for all of Twitter to see. We were embarrassed for Ben who for some reason couldn't pay off a small amount in 14 years ... not to mention he shared a LOT of personal info.
In case you missed it:
Ben Kamens (@BeeKamens) ~ Just got a call to let me know my student debt has been canceled. This is why elections matter. Thanks @JoeBiden.
June 19, 2024
Ben is the Communications Director for Rep. Marcy Kaptur (D-OH) and has a salary somewhere in the neighborhood of $96,000 per year.
Forget that Biden didn't pay off Ben's debt.
No, he just passed it off to millions of other Americans who may have already paid their loans off OR who never had a chance to go to college.
Case in point:
John LeFevre (@JohnLeFevre) ~ {Replying to @BeeKamens} It wasn’t “canceled.” It was transferred to me. Also, why brag about this? You invested in yourself. And you turned out to be a lousy investment. You should be embarrassed by the bailout.

Yeah, ol' Ben took a lot of heat yesterday for NOT thanking the American taxpayers who were the ones forced into paying off his debt in spite of the fact that he most definitely has the means to pay off his remaining $8,250 balance.
Here is the house at the address shown on Ben's student loan forgiveness notice ...
Jason Robertson (@JRobFromMN) ~ Assuming the address on the note is your house, you live in a half of a million dollar home and need the government to pay off your loans? What the hell?
So, we're thinking it wasn't very smart for Ben to share his information in such a public way just so he could play politics and support Biden. Did he really think it was smart to share that letter with millions of strangers?
Woof.
Biden voters, right?
Plenty of people dragged Ben, but then people started doing some digging and well ... yeah.
Some VERY WELL-DESERVED dragging.
John LeFevre (@JohnLeFevre) ~ Instead of paying off his own student loans, @BeeKamens spent his own money on prime sports seats (and also lots of high calorie meals).
Mr T 2 (@GovtsTheProblem) ~ Can’t imagine why this person didn’t pay off their student loans and instead wants taxpayers to pay off their loans.
OOF. Maybe Ben should've spent that money paying off his school loans?
Just spitballing.
Not a great look, Ben.
Ben actually made a great argument AGAINST the govt. paying off school loans.
HA HA HA HA HA HA!
--UPDATE--
Seems Ben locked his account down:
Alec Sears (@alec_sears) ~ HAHA the guy who was bragging about getting his loans paid off went private.
Awww, ya' hate to see it.
Poor Ben ... he's ...
