Republicans Co-Opt House Democrats’ #AskDems twitter town hall

A twitter town hall for young people to discuss “Democratic efforts” to prevent student loan interest rates from doubling was hijacked by Republicans Wednesday.

What was meant to be a platform for student to #AskDems, including Nancy Pelosi  (D-Calif.), Steny Hoyer (D-Md.), James Clyburn (D-S.C.) and John Larson (D-Conn.), about the student loan issue that is set to double in July  turned into a grilling of House Democrats.

The town hall was hardly effective. But on the bright side the Democrats got a glimpse of what young people really do care about. Here are some of our favorite tweets.
