Fox News host Laura Ingraham has received major blowback for her tweet about forgiving student loans<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy mom worked as a waitress until she was 73 to help pay for our college,\u201d Ingraham, whose segment \u201cThe Ingraham Angle \u201d airs 10 p.m. ET. \u201cEven helped with loan repayment. Loan forgiveness just another insult to those who play by the rules.\u201d<\/p>\n

Reactions to Ingraham\u2019s words are not favorable.<\/p>\n

\u201cPretty sure Laura Ingraham could have afforded to pay off those loans herself any time in the past 35 years,\u201d Liz Dye wrote<\/a>. \u201cAdmitting that she let her mom wait tables into her 70s to pay off that debt isn\u2019t really the flex she thinks it is.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSince the mid-80s Laura Ingraham worked in high-salary positions for law firms, media outlets, and even presidents,\u201d wrote one user<\/a>. \u201cWhy was she still working her elderly mother into her grave to pay off her college? That\u2019s an insult to those who paid off their own debt.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another wrote<\/a> \u201cI paid for my own college while lazy Laura Ingraham suckled from the teat of her waitress mom.\u201d<\/p>\n

One Twitter-user even went so far as to calculate the difference in student loans at Dartmouth, where Ingraham received her degree, from the time she went to present day. That same user found Ingraham\u2019s mother\u2019s obituary<\/a> to use in her research as well.<\/p>\n

I swear to God that after her mother died, @IngrahamAngle<\/a> boasted to me that her last words were “Laura, why are you so bossy?”<\/p>\n

Laura will never understand what a self-indictment those first 10 words are. pic.twitter.com\/eMpjtateYm<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cI sUfFeReD sO eVeRyBoDy HaS tO sUfFeR!\u201d is the single most effed up mindset anyone can have. People who have struggled should instead CELEBRATE that others don\u2019t have to go through what they went through. It\u2019s called human compassion.<\/p>\n
