US Congressman Thomas Massie claims in a widely shared tweet that a series of photos shows Internal Revenue Service (IRS) recruits learning to use firearms and make arrests. This is misleading; the pictures show students with toy guns in mock IRS criminal investigations at a university in October 2017 and March 2022, and relatively few agents are authorized to carry guns.
“These are not auditions for the next Police Academy sequel," said Massie, a Republican from Kentucky, in an August 16, 2022 tweet with three photos that show people wearing police vests and holding what appear to be firearms. "This is an actual IRS recruiting program.”
Massie's post, which he also shared on Facebook, racked up tens of thousands of interactions as it spread among conservative figures such as former National Rifle Association spokesperson Dana Loesch, former One America News host Jack Posobiec and Daily Wire host Matt Walsh.
The tweet also circulated on Telegram and internet message boards affiliated with the QAnon conspiracy theory, as well as websites such as RedState and the Western Journal.

87000 is not relative few in any mind other than a lying full bliwn Communist tyrant.

Ben Shapiro, who I really like, was talking about how physically inept and unimpressive they are.
I think he is missing the point on this one. As Colt said firearms are the great equalizer, it’s doesnt take much to point and pull a trigger.
Correct. When Christian Conservatives are rounded up and kneeling next to big open trenches, it will be grinning, amoral, out of shape, purple haired "its" standing behind them pulling the triggers.
A terrifying vision,
it’s doesnt take much to point and pull a trigger./

No wonder Alex Baldwin is being ignored
These are 87000 Baldwin’s in training...
