Mark Warner, Tim Kaine comment on reports that IRS targeted Tea Party groups

Chris Graham

tax-newRecent reports that the IRS targeted Tea Party groups drew strong criticism from U.S. Sens. Mark Warner and Tim Kaine on Monday.

Warner called the actions by the IRS “completely unacceptable.”

“We need a quick but thorough investigation, and those who are found to have been responsible for this betrayal of the public trust should be fired,” said Warner, D-Va.

Kaine said he is “very concerned” about the reports and that there is “no excuse for ideological discrimination in our system.”

“The administration should take swift action to get to the bottom of this to ensure those responsible for misconduct are held accountable and establish appropriate safeguards to prevent this from ever happening again,” Kaine said.
