Schumer Approves IRS Targeting

Senator Chuck Schumer revealed how he really feels about the IRS having illegally targeted conservatives groups. Addressing the progressive Center for American Progress, Schumer outright encouraged the rogue agency to add additional pressure on Tea Party organizations: “It is clear that we will not pass anything legislatively as long as the House of Representatives is in Republican control, but there are many things that can be done administrat...ively by the IRS and other government agencies – we must redouble those efforts immediately.” He followed up by slamming the Supreme Court's ruling in Citizens United, adding, “Obviously the Tea Party elites gained extraordinary influence by being able to funnel millions of dollars into campaigns with ads that distort the truth and attack government.” (Or maybe their success comes from Americans becoming increasingly fed up with the Left's agenda.) If progressive groups were feeling the IRS' wrath, the New York senator would be singing a different tune.
