Bless his heart: Oliver Willis promotes IRS chief to Cabinet-level position

Facts are hard. Especially when you work for Media Matters.

While former IRS commissioner Douglas Shulman evidently visited the White House at least 157 times during Obama’s tenure — including 118 visits in a two-year span — the IRS chief is not, in fact, part of the Presidential Cabinet. That’s a fact that seems to have escaped MMFA troll Oliver Willis:

Poor guy. He just doesn’t get it, does he?

When you make up the 1st piece of evidence, it's easy to shoehorn in the 2nd piece: https://t.co/Ekky3zRcCe @owillis

Stop spinning, Oliver. You’re getting dizzy.

Update:

Seems we’ve hit a nerve with Willis. Just a shame it wasn’t his self-awareness nerve:

Keep digging, Ollie!
