We are used to Bill Kristol thinking he is the ‘one true conservative’ and we here at Twitchy like to poke fun at him fairly regularly since he started playing that role. He recently tweeted his support of MORE IRS agents! He cloaks it in with January 6 and the ethics office but his main goal is to prove to you what a ‘true conservative’ thinks and supports and how YOU and the GOP fall short of his expectations.
From the attacks on the January 6 Committee to blocking more IRS agents to weakening the congressional ethics office, one might think House Republicans aren’t too interested in enforcing the rule of law.

January 6 committee was a joke and we all know it. Plus, since when are IRS agents who were added in order to destroy mom and pop shops and Etsy side hustles really a conservative value that needs protecting? MORE TAXES has never been and should never be a GOP policy standard.
Ah. I thought I heard a mewling noise.

Yes, anytime we hear that feeble whimper we know it is the call of Kristol trying to gain some leftist support.
Lol…suck it commie!

OK. We don’t know why, but that one just made us laugh.
Unsurprising that Bill Kristol would be a fan of the IRS.

What kind of people actually support more IRS agents other than the IRS? The answer: Democrats plus Bill Kristol, which we could probably just leave as Democrats.
87.000 IRS agents have nothing to do with the rule of law but the rule of the state.

Correct. We also submit that the January 6th committee was only loosely related to the rule of law since it was so obviously biased and seemed to be more of a mission to destroy rather than find the truth.
What the hell is conservative about hiring a ton of new IRS agents to push for more guilty until proven innocent audits?

If you have never been through an audit, it is rough. It really is a hardship. The person has to go through so much and spend time and money to prove themselves innocent. If a small Mom and Pop is hit with an audit, it can literally destroy them and push them out of business so the IRS angle of Kristol’s tweet is the one that angered us the most. He has no clue what more Agents will do, but we do and the majority of their time will be spent destroying honest people rather than going after what the left refers to as ‘the rich’.
So you're for 86,000 new gun toting IRS agents intimidating average Americans now? And you and everyone else knows the J6 Committee was a joke, so what does that make you?

The conservative case for big government, the grift that keeps on grifting from Bill. https://t.co/awtwXjmqnm

BIG GOVERNMENT is the rallying cry of which party? It is NOT the GOP.
We are fairly certain that Kristol has gone so far left that he’s gotten the parties’ goals mixed up. 🙂
Not wanting to hire more IRS agents?!? They are behaving as if the American Revolution started over a healthy suspicion of taxes or something! https://t.co/mPRhbw7LBU

“Ackshully more IRS agents is a good thing” – Bill Kristol begging for Likes, RTs, and relevance from the left https://t.co/QjuuSbu4Xz

You're a Democrat now, Bill. Just admit it. https://t.co/ikEm3DUzKE
— jimtreacher.substack.com (@jtLOL) January 3, 2023
That is a pretty decent summary. Kristol has become a Democrat. He may not be ready to admit it, but we are.
Just admit it and officially become a Democrat already Bill. Nobody is buying what you are selling. The grift is done.
