You can’t fault U.S. Rep. Sean Duffy, the northwoods Republican, for not being persistent. The young House member has posted a video of himself repeatedly asking Treasury Secretary Jack Lew, in the hot seat over the recent IRS scandal, when he knew officials were targeting the legitimacy of tax-exempt conservative groups, I mean, Americans. Lew tried to remain cool as Duffy milked his time during the meeting of the Financial Services Committee on Wednesday for every last drop of C-Span rocking notoriety.
In short: Duffy wants to know when Lew knew the IRS was “targeting Americans,” targeting different people with conservative views, targeting certain people, etc., and he’s not happy with Lew’s explanation that he had no “knowledge” or “facts” before seeing the bombshell report from the office of the IRS Inspector General.
