Ted Cruz Educates AOC After She Claims Republicans Hate the IRS Because They ‘Target Neo-Nazis’

Ted Cruz fired back at Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) after the far-left socialist New York congresswoman claimed Republicans want to abolish the IRS because the IRS targets neo-Nazis.

The social media confrontation began with a three-word tweet by Senator Cruz over the weekend that AOC took umbrage with.
“Abolish the IRS!” he wrote.
 

Abolish the IRS!

Cruz has been an advocate to abolish the IRS for some time, calling for it outright on his campaign site and insisting implementation of a flat tax is the way to go.

AOC responded as you might expect, somehow suggesting the GOP opposes the IRS because they target “neo-Nazi groups.”
“Notice how Republicans are frothing at the mouth to abolish the few enforcement mechanisms that target large-scale tax evasion and neo-Nazi groups,” she replied.

She added, “Tells you a lot!”

In one of his earlier acts, Trump also defunded operations countering right-wing violent extremist groups.
