Share Source: AP Photo/Susan Walsh, File Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (KY) and Indiana Senator Mike Braun were joined by more than three dozen of their GOP colleagues in sponsoring the Don't Weaponize the IRS Act introduced Thursday. Speaking of the bill on the Senate floor, McConnell outlined the dangers posed by the Biden administration and congressional democrats' attempts to pass the radical H.R.1 reform known as the For the People Act that includes "multiple elements that would chill Americans' exercise of free speech and let Washington bureaucrats hoard more of citizens' private information without good cause." Just before leaving office, President Trump and his administration announced a final rule that prohibited the IRS from going after tax-exempt organizations on the basis of their ideological or political beliefs. The Democrats' For the People Act would remove that ideological freedom protection, and conservatives have the most to lose in such a situation. It's worth noting Democrats also endanger their own with such a plan the next time a Republican takes the White House, but Dems are not known for avoiding short-sighted decisions—just ask them how nuking the filibuster for judicial nominees turned out.
