While Loop over a File returning command not found

I'm Trying to create a simple shell script to loop through a file line by line and execute a command with each line as a variable.

Here is my Text File:

FakeAccount
FakeUser

Here Is My Shell Script:

#!/bin/bash

while IFS= read -r line; do
 "echo -e 'testpasswordntestpassword' | passwd $line"
done < "User.txt"

The Output i get back seems to be what i want, the output says:

"line 4: echo -e 'testpasswdntestpasswd' | passwd FakeAccount: command not found"

"line 4: echo -e 'testpasswdntestpasswd' | passwd FakeUser: command not found"

But if i copy this exact string: echo -e 'testpasswdntestpasswd' | passwd FakeUser

the command works just fine so why is the shell script not executing the command and its saying command not found?
