Hegseth Just Got a Letter From the IRS...

The weaponization of the IRS is nothing new. In the 1930s, Franklin Delano Roosevelt used the agency as a means of attacking his political foes, while in the Obama era, the agency targeted conservative political groups. More recently in 2023, journalist Matt Taibbi was paid a visit by IRS agents on the same day he was set to testify before Congress about government censorship—a move that came after the IRS opened a case on him following his Twitter Files expose. The motives behind such actions are easy to see and unfortunately continue to this day. Just ask Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.
