John Adams said that ‘facts are stubborn things.’ The facts establish that Lois Lerner acted with reckless disregard for the constitutional rights of United States citizens while working at the IRS and she must be held accountable, which is why I voted to hold Lois Lerner in contempt of Congress. The blatant disregard of basic civil liberties and the use of a government agency to harass, target, intimidate and threaten lawful, honest citizens smells like the worst form of authoritarianism. President Obama erroneously claimed that there isn’t even a smidgen of corruption in the IRS targeting scandal, and yet a trail of emails prove otherwise. Further, Mrs. Lerner is still refusing to testify on the grounds that she fears criminal prosecution. She should. She lied to Congress. She abused her position. She violated the rights of Americans. She tried to harm the electoral process and intimidate voters.
