Quote:
Former Democratic Congressman and presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich slammed the unethical targeting of conservative Tea Party groups by the IRS on Fox News Sunday’s panel, unequivocally suggesting that this was political targeting at its worst.
After dropping the disclaimer that he is a “liberal Democrat” and does not celebrate Tea Party politics, Kucinich firmly claimed politics has no place with the IRS:
“We can not have a condition in America where peoples politics are the basis for IRS attacks.”
Asked by Chris Wallace whether he buys the IRS claim that this was just an isolated bureaucratic offense by select IRS agents in Cincinnati, Kucinich said the buck stops at the top.
“The tone is set from the top,” Kucinich said. “We are in a hyper-partisan, intensely partisan condition in Washington. The polarization is damaging to our country.”
Wallace countered, asking if Kucinich thought the IRS’s missteps were straight up political targeting:
“How can it not be?” Kucinich concluded.
This admin is in deep doo doo and it's about time people are talking about the corrupt sham that is the Obama administration.
