Representative Jim McDermott (D-WA) blames the TEA Party and similar conservative-oriented groups for the IRS scandal, saying “they wouldn’t have been targeted if they weren’t opposed to the President’s reform agenda. If they were playing or trying to play a constructive role in the transformation of this country they wouldn’t have been singled out by the IRS for intimidation. So, in a way, it’s their own fault.”
McDermott suggested that “if these people genuinely want to help make America better they’ll get on board with the push for social justice. In less than a year the Affordable Care Act goes fully into effect. This complex program will be a major jolt to a lot of people. They could try to help ease the transition.”
“If that’s not the right politics for them surely they could help get people engaged with the First Lady’s ‘let’s get America moving’ fight against obesity,” he added. “Encouraging more exercise and eating vegetables is something everyone can support. Why don’t they do that instead of fighting this Administration?”
