On its website, First Liberty asks, “Has Cancel Culture come to the IRS?” It also calls this case “eerily reminiscent of a scandal that made headlines during President Obama’s administration when the IRS, under the leadership of Lois Lerner, was accused of targeting Tea Party groups.”
Lea Patterson of First Liberty says, “The IRS states in an official letter that Biblical values are exclusively Republican. That might be news to President Biden, who is often described as basing his political ideology on his religious beliefs.”
Patterson adds, “Only a politicized IRS could see Americans who pray for their nation, vote in every election, and work to engage others in the political process as a threat. The IRS violated its own regulations in denying tax-exempt status because Christians Engaged teaches biblical values.”
Pounds, president of Christians Engaged, says, “We just want to encourage more people to vote and participate in the political process. How can anyone be against that?”
