Former NBA coach Stan Van Gundy tried to make use of the Bible story of the loaves and fishes to mock criticism of President Biden’s student-loan forgiveness plan – only to be smote by the wrath of Twitter.
Van Gundy — who used to teach the Orlando Magic and is the older brother of former Knicks coach Jeff Van Gundy — posted a meme featuring an outline of Jesus within the story, writing, “Jesus’s miracle of the loaves and fishes was a slap within the face to all of the individuals who brought their very own lunch.”
He headlined the posting: “Republican logic.”
The posting was apparently meant to ridicule critics of the relief plan, who’ve claimed it’s unfair to those that already paid off their loans, attended inexpensive schools or took a distinct profession path.
Twitter immediately began crying foul on Stan.
“The school educated aren’t the poor and helpless! Waiters and laborers are paying the bills of doctors and lawyers,” one person tweeted.
One other tweeter followed that line of thought.
“[Jesus] made the fish and bread from nothing. It was not redistributed and forcibly taken from working class people,” the posting said.

One person asked: “Where did the loaves and fishes come from, Stan?”
Conservative author Ron Bassilian added, “Love this.”
”1. The left thinks government is God 2. The left thinks social programs are miracles and don’t obey the laws of thermodynamics,” Bassilian said on Twitter.
