McCarthy: ‘The Very First Day, the First Thing We’re Going to Do Is Repeal the 87,000 IRS Agents’
Breitbart ^ | 12/31/2022 | Jeff poor

Posted on 12/31/2022 7:37:53 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

Friday, during an appearance on FNC’s “Jesse Watters Primetime,” House Republican leader Kevin McCarthy teased Congress’ immediate upcoming actions to start 2023.

First up, according to the California Republican, after electing the Speaker of the House was to repeal the 87,000 IRS agents provision passed by Congress earlier this year.

“Great question – the first thing we have to do is elect our Speaker. We can’t do anything until we elect that Speaker,” he said. “And if you watch, the White House is actually pushing back on our investigations, saying we’re not going to give you anything till you get this solved. So, we need to be able to move forward with that.”

The only thing Kevin and the GOP is to gut the federal government by not passing anymore CRs. It’s time to put this bloated pig on a diet. If the senate doesn’t want to play along, then shut it down.

Why do but sides pull this pandering BS? If you don’t have the votes to repeal on the changes you want do some real legislation that will.

He really does think that Republicans are stupid.

Everyone knows it’s theater. Talk like this doesn’t work anymore.

Once again I see that conservatives are better at fighting their own party than the democrats.

We can expect the IRS agent repeal will go about as well as the Obamacare repeal did for the GOP. They are just faking it and anybody paying attention knows it.

"And the senate will get right on it."

Great sarcastic point!

Given that only Congress has the express constitutional power to arm an army, Biden's IRS army is just another thing to add to his growing list of impeachable offenses which House can do something about.

"Article I, Section 8, Clause 16: To provide for organizing, arming [emphasis added], and disciplining, the Militia, and for governing such Part of them as may be employed in the Service of the United States, reserving to the States respectively, the Appointment of the Officers, and the Authority of training the Militia according to the discipline prescribed by Congress;"
