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.”

McCarthy: ‘The Very First Day, the First Thing We’re Going to Do Is Repeal the 87,000 IRS Agents’

With the GOP being divided in the House, will any republican Speaker be able to get enough votes to repeal much of anything the democrats have put in place?

How likely is it that the rhino’s can be kept in line and vote in unison?

What Senate will approve the repeal?

What president will sign the repeal?

What 2/3 majority will override the veto?

I’ll wait.

Pandering seems to be what km does best.

I guess he could stop funding them. But how likely is that going to happen. Especially after backstabbing repukes just gave Biden 1.7 trillion to sabotage anything the new House can do its first year?

With a strong House leader, we could stop funding those agents in 2024, and that cannot happen if McCarthy cannot be replaced.

Kevin is OK with me. But he can’t repeal jack without the Senate and slow Joe’s signature.

Only way to do that would be to simply slash all funds going to the IRS, except that which is needed to process the Tax Filings for the year. That would leave no funds for additional agents or going after political enemies. GOP doesn’t have enough backbone to do that.

If he was serious, why did he push for the 1.7 trillion omnibus bill?

Could have gone for just a continuing resolution until January 3.

Release ALL tax records of Dem Leadership as co-conspirators.

They are all guilty of the same things, that is why they never bring this stuff up. Mutual Assured Destruction policy works.
