A decade after the IRS acknowledged unfairly targeting conservative groups during the Tea Party movement, many believed that chapter had been closed. However, according to some, the same tactics are still in use, evolving into a more organized, protected, and damaging force.

The accusation is straightforward: the IRS is being used to financially undermine conservative donors, groups, and causes, while safeguarding the political infrastructure supporting the Democratic Party. Conservatives estimate that right-leaning individuals and organizations lose between $1 to $3 billion annually due to audits, enforcement actions, and bureaucratic hurdles that disproportionately target them. These aren’t just vague grievances—they point to specific individuals, financial records, and consistent patterns of behavior.
