House Republican leader Kevin McCarthy hinted at Congress’s first moves of 2023 on Friday’s episode of FNC’s “Jesse Watters Primetime.”
After electing a new Speaker of the House, the first order of business, according to the Republican from California, was to reverse a law that authorized 87,000 more IRS officers.
The first order of business is to choose a Speaker, so that’s a great question. He stated that action could only be taken once we have a new Speaker. And if you’ve been keeping an eye on things, you’ll see that the White House is actively resisting our probes and warning that it won’t cooperate with you until the situation is resolved. Therefore, we must be able to proceed with it.
McCarthy said, “Then, on day one, we’re going to abolish the 87,000 IRS agents.” We’ll protect our border after saying things like, “Another reason the Democrats are furious at me, I suppose — the government is here to serve people, not to go after you. Please protect our children by closing this border and stopping the flow of the millions of individuals crossing it. To improve our economy, we must. Which implies we need to become energy self-sufficient. There must be accountability in this administration. From what did COVID first emerge? Learn the history of the Bidens. Instead of targeting innocent citizens, the FBI should focus on criminals. Since we have a lot of ground to cover, we should get going on the first day.
