Kevin McCarthy Says First Act Of New Congress Is Repealing 87,000 New IRS Agents

Kevin McCarthy hasn't been speaker of the House for long, but that does NOT mean he's going to wait to take action.

He's going after liberal bloat already.

According to the Republican from California, repealing the liberal army of 87,000 "was our very first act of the new Congress."

🚨 House Republicans just voted unanimously to repeal the Democrats' army of 87,000 IRS agents 🚨

This was our very first act of the new Congress, because government should work for you, not against you.

Promises made. Promises kept.

The move by the new GOP-led House of Representatives was announced by Louisiana Rep. Steve Scalise, who added that every single Democrat in the House voted "no" on the repealing of 87,000 new IRS agents.

Imagine being a Democrat who voted aganist defunding more IRS agents to protect hardworking Americans and small businesses from being targeted by the federal government.
