Rubio: IRS Targeting Of Conservative Groups Is Reprehensible, Must Be Investigated

Statement

U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) issued the following statement regarding today's admission by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) that it has deliberately targeted conservative groups:

"The IRS's political targeting of select groups based on their political leanings is reprehensible, and it should trouble every American to know that a federal government agency could abuse its power so outrageously. We need immediate congressional hearings to investigate these actions and determine who needs to be held accountable. This is deplorable behavior by the IRS that threatens the very essence of our democracy and the First Amendment rights under our Constitution."
