It looks as if the government is returning to its old habits of trying to exploit the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to attack conservative nonprofits.
Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) is urging IRS Commissioner Charles Rettig “to review the tax-exempt status of Turning Point USA [TPUSA],” according to CNBC. The reason for this push was asinine: “Whitehouse said [in a letter that] the nonprofit student group should have its tax-exempt status reviewed because he believes they broke Covid regulations when it reportedly hosted two large events in Florida.” Conservative activist Charlie Kirk is president of the group. Kirk is also a member on the board of advisors for the MRC’s Free Speech America project.
