Roy Blunt in 2022 MO Senate race


On Crime: Riot: Trump touched hot stove, unlikely to touch it again

Q: Is the President a danger to the country [after the Capitol riots]?

BLUNT: I think the President's decisions and his actions that day and leading up to that day on this topic were clearly reckless. My personal view is that the President touched the hot stove and is unlikely to touch it again. And if that's the case, every day, we get closer to the last day of his presidency. We should be thinking more about the first day of the next presidency than the last day of his presidency, in my view.

On Education: Student loan forgiveness is monumentally unfair

SEN. ROY BLUNT (R-MO): I just thought it was monumentally unfair to people who didn't go to college because they didn't think they could afford it, unfair to people who paid their loans back, unfair to people who got higher education in an area that the government didn't make loans, and just bad economics. I think it's going to have a long-term devastating effect on a student loan program that worked pretty effectively until the federal government assumed responsibility for that program.

SEN. BERNIE SANDERS (I-VT): Well, he's wrong. 60% of the benefits go to people who were on Pell grants, 87% of the benefits go to people who are making $75,000 a year. I know it is shocking to some Republicans that the government actually, on occasion, does something to benefit working families and low-income people. I don't hear any of these Republicans squawking when we give massive tax breaks to billionaires.
