Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-VA) told MSNBC today that Republicans had “cooked the books” over the IRS Scandal.
“Well, the Republicans have clearly tried to cook the books here and they want to bring a contempt citation against Lois Lerner. And, the sole reason is because this plays well with their base. They’ve done polling and the IRS issue plays well with their base. The fact that the rights of an individual are going to be trampled upon. That’s just a casualty of war.”
Unbelievable.
Speaking of “rights being trampled upon”…
For the record – The IRS Conservative Targeting Scandal involved:
- Hundreds of conservative groups were targeted
- At least 5 pro-Israel groups
- Constitutional groups
- Groups that criticized Obama administration
- At least two pro-life groups
- An 83 year-old Nazi concentration camp survivor
- A 180 year-old Baptist paper
- A Texas voting-rights group
- A Hollywood conservative group was targeted and harassed
- Conservative activists and businesses
- At least one conservative Hispanic group
- IRS continued to target groups even after the scandal was exposed
- And… 100% of the 501(c)(4) Groups Audited by IRS Were Conservative
Democrats are lying more than usual – they must really be worried about this.
