The House Oversight Committee is holding a hearing today on the IRS scandal. And this may come as a shock, but Democratic committee member Rep. Carolyn Maloney doesn’t have a clue what she’s talking about:
Issa correcting Maloney on the proper tax status of 501©4s. #IRSscandal

Rep. Maloney doesn't understand the rules of a 501(c)(4) as opposed to a (c)(3), yet was about to lecture the committee on same.

Rep. Carolyn B. Maloney, New York City, is asking questions about 501(c)(4) groups, and she hasn't studied what the designation means yet.

Good effin news: Rep Maloney (D, NY-12) just admitted she has no idea how a 501c4 works. How do you sit in oversight and not know this?

And now Carolyn Maloney for the #IRS defense. Another Party person. Could give a crap about the country or understanding 501 law. Typical(D)

#IRS wants to handle your health records but Maloney didn't even learn the difference between 501c3 & 501c4 before a hearing about the two.

Professor: Begin your presentation on apples.
Me: Oh idk about that so I went with oranges I figured they're the same.

If ignorance is bliss, Rep. Maloney is one very happy camper.
Maloney doesn't understand how exemptions work…"so they DON'T get a tax deduction *shocked face*?!" Your Congress, folks. #IRS #headdesk
