Mark Levin Goes Off To Cavuto About Obama & ‘Impotent’ House GOP Over IRS Scandal: ‘Absolutely Unacceptable’

Conservative radio host Mark Levin called into Neil Cavuto’s Fox News show Monday afternoon to share his outrage over the news that the IRS had targeted Tea Party-affiliated groups during the 2012 election, and the reaction from President Obama. “For him to continue to act like he doesn’t know what is going on around him,” Levin said, “and he just happens to be president of the United States, is absolutely unacceptable.”

“The president never explains anything,” Levin began. “He never takes responsibility for anything. He’s never accountable for anything.” He also tore into Congress for failing to investigate it more fully instead of taking IRS officials at their word when they denied any wrongdoing, calling House Republicans “very timid, very passive.”

Levin rejected the idea that it’s “a couple of Treasury agents in Cincinnati who came up with this.” Rather he said, “this went all the way up to senior officials within the IRS, and they’re in full cover-up mode at the IRS.” Speaking about some the “horrific scrutiny” to which the IRS subjected the Tea Party groups, he suggested, “nobody ever asks Media Matters or any of the left-wing groups these questions.” He added, “it was clear effort to intimidate and prevent these organizations from getting the tax-exempt status they have a right to.”

“The president should have apologized to these Tea Party and conservative groups,” Levin said. But he also believes Tea Party members are owed an apology from the “impotent” House Republicans who are just now planning on holding a hearing to investigate the issue. “A year late, but we’ll still take it.”
