Ted Cruz Tries to Mock Karine Jean-Pierre, Instead Humiliates Himself Misspelling Santa Claus

By

Yesterday, the White House announced that it was establishing a program that would forgive $10,000 in student loans for every student in the country. It is a controversial move. Plans to wipe out student loans are well-intentioned. Students simply aren’t getting what they pay for nowadays. They don’t get the leg up that they used to, and the market really hasn’t changed much with respect to tuition, in part because the government guarantees each loan, and tuition has skyrocketed. Plus, it costs the government a lot of money, and some believe the money can be better spent elsewhere. Perhaps free community college for every student in the country.

It is not apparent that it’s been a popular political move.

So Karen Jean-Pierre knew that she was going to get some pushback in the pressroom today. However, the Biden administration has an ace up its sleeve. It believes that the program is fully paid for with the recent tax increases. And that is where Ted Cruz comes in.

Ted Cruz, the supposedly brilliant guy? You know, the Harvard law grad who went on to clerk for Chief Justice Rehnquist? The guy who has stepped on more rakes, painted in bright hunter-orange, in the last two years than any previous Senate ever? Yes, he managed to do it again.

Far be it from us to bash someone for a spelling error but… we’re willing to bash Ted Cruz for a spelling error. After all, didn’t we all write Santa Claus a letter when we were little? And didn’t we all try to make it perfect,

And they were off:
