David Brooks: This IRS story is going to be big

On “Meet the Press” Sunday, New York Times columnist David Brooks explained that the recent news about the IRS targeting Tea Party groups would be a major story in upcoming days, pointing out that the Obama administration was facing another political scandal.

“[T]his IRS story is going to be big,” Brooks insisted. “It’s going to confirm a lot of suspicions a lot of Republicans have. You combine that with the Benghazi thing, you combine it with even the red line in Syria, where that looks like a political thing now because you wouldn’t carry through it.”

Brooks explained that the Obama administration was filled with highly politicized people, which signaled a growing problem for President Obama during his second term.

“[T]hey are very political. And so, you could have this means spread that this is a hyper-politicized group of people who will twist things,” he said.
