Top House Republican leaders are blasting an IRS denial of a tax exemption to a Texas prayer group as an overt attack on religious liberty and a continuation of the targeting scandal that plagued the federal tax agency during the Obama era. Democratic leaders have remained silent.
“The language of the IRS ruling suggests the return of a disturbing trend of politicized targeting at the IRS,“ House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) told The Epoch Times on June 22. ”This politicization treats Americans unfairly, not only by disrupting equal application of the law, but also by undermining public trust in government.”
