It looks as if the government is returning to its old habits of trying to exploit the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to attack conservative nonprofits.
Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) is urging IRS Commissioner Charles Rettig “to review the tax-exempt status of Turning Point USA [TPUSA],” according to CNBC. The reason for this push was asinine: “Whitehouse said [in a letter that] the nonprofit student group should have its tax-exempt status reviewed because he believes they broke Covid regulations when it reportedly hosted two large events in Florida.” Conservative activist Charlie Kirk is president of the group. Kirk is also a member on the board of advisors for the MRC’s Free Speech America project.

no dissent. resistance is futile.
see you in the camps.
I thought “covid regulations” were based on state or local guidelines (or edicts or ordinances). What jurisdiction could the IRS have on someone for covid infractions?
Save a slice of bread for me.
Using the IRS to shakedown political opponents wonder if Lois Lerner is still around as a “non partisan” voice to head the investigation
NewsBusters us just piling on now. C’mon man.
Huh?
Target all the LEFT winds groups CRUZ exposed tied to this slimebag during the Barret hearing.
Ha Ha. Turning Point is GOPe. Good riddance to them. See what trying to be the reasonable right gets you Charlie “original never trumper” Kirk?
THIS is what this d-bag does with his Senatorial time and power?????????????? Wild guess: “They” have dirt on this slimeball, and have told him to push this. I am truly shocked at the state of our once great nation.
None. This is Whitehouse being a conservative-hating democRAT. Simple as that.
Yep.
Whitehouse is assho.
I remember the days whether to put China on Most Favored status or not, now it is ourselves who are off the list!
Geez not even in office yet and they want to weaponize the IRS...
the nonprofit student group should have its tax-exempt status reviewed because he believes they broke Covid regulations...

I’d like to see the line in the tax code that would trigger revocation of tax exempt status based on Covid.
According to our liberal friends, where two or more are gathered to discuss issues effecting our country, you have a super-spreader event
Can we start a list of suspect Lib tax-exempt organizations?
Is there anything in general tax codes that mention this kind of situation? If we didn’t have the China Virus situation, what would Sen. Outhouse have come up with to silence a group he doesn’t like? Racism, sexism, one of the phobias?
“THIS is what this d-bag does with his Senatorial time and power??”
I am not a violent but this one person I would like to punch in the face. He just has that demeanor about him.
Some need a kick in the teeth.
