Republicans are on a mission. They have once again managed to bamboozled the entire media and got the whole nation talking about an already debunked so-called Benghazi scandal.
And now they’re doing it again. They’re raising other debunked so-called scandal with the IRS, by voting to hold Lois Lerner in contempt of Congress abd requesting a special prosecutor to investigate the IRS agency.
A classic bate and switch technique.
Lerner, who headed an IRS division that processed applications for 501c tax-exempt status, refused to testify during two previous Republican witch hunt hearings, invoking her Fifth Amendment rights.
Republicans were obviously not amused.
The House voted 250-168 in favor of the measure calling for a special prosecutor to investigate the matter. House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.), who pushed for the move last week, has said the IRS’s actions are “too serious a matter to leave to the discretion of partisan political appointees.”
The contempt resolution asks the Justice Department to seek criminal prosecution against Lerner.
Do you see what’s happening here? There is a simple reason why Republicans are ramping up all these debunked “scandals” like Benghazi and now the IRS. They have absolutely no accomplishments, no policies to show the American people, except the masterful ways they’ve block progress. So ginning up their base with lies about the Benghazi and now the IRS, is a sure way to bring their base out to the polls in November.
And their base, the low information Fox News viewers they are, will rush to the polls because of a debunked “scabdal” call Benghazi, and another debunked “scandal” with the IRS.
I sometimes wish that the Dems…or “not Repubs”….would just give up their principles, and LIE , MISCONSTRUE, EDIT, REPEAT lame talking points, FEAR MONGER, DEFLECT, PROJECT, and generally bamboozle the American public into voting against themselves to stay in power (instead of actually WORKING for this country). One big made-up scandal after another…anything to keep the plebeians from finding out what the Repubs are really doing to us……you won’t see it on FOX.
