U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, released the following statement regarding IRS Commissioner John Koskinen's remarks at the National Press Club on Tuesday.
"When Americans speak up, it makes a difference," said Sen. Cruz. "A record number of Americans spoke out against a regulation being considered by the IRS to stifle free speech of 501(c)(4) political groups. As a result, it is unlikely those rules will be implemented this year. This is a substantial victory for the grassroots and should serve as motivation to continue pressuring the IRS to drop the rule completely."
