KERRY L. BENTIVOLIO: “It has become apparent that the Federal agencies operate by one…”

On the recordJuly 24, 2014

It has become apparent that the Federal agencies operate by one standing principle: do as I say, not as I do. The IRS has shown a blatant disregard for the truth, and it is apparent there is something to hide. Madam Speaker, I look to the other side, and I have to ask: Where is your outrage? Why have none of my Democratic friends been willing to look at the Internal Revenue Service's actions and say: Do you know what? This is bigger than partisan politics. Something is wrong here, and we need to protect the rights of Americans. Are you so committed to government power that you are unwilling to stand up and do the right thing? Our job is to protect the rights of the people, not take them away. It is time we remember that in this Chamber. ____________________
