WASHINGTON, D.C. – Representative Mulvaney released the following statement:

"I’ve said before -- it is impossible to exaggerate the extent to which the Internal Revenue Service scandal should anger and frighten every one of us. No matter our ideology, moving forward all of us will now wonder if we are being targeted by this supposedly "independent" agency on the basis of our political views. Rather than trusting our government to provide impartial service and equal justice, we are now forced to ask ourselves whether we are getting a fair shake or being singled out as a result of what we believe.

This sort of activity cannot be allowed to stand, or to go unanswered. That’s why I voted along with a majority of my House colleagues to hold Lois Lerner in contempt.  Ms. Lerner has an obligation to the American people to divulge exactly what she knew.  You don’t get to pick and choose which parts of the Constitution you like.  That said, I’m hopeful we will get the whole truth in a timely manner.”
