A post that dared to accurately point out that an Internal Revenue Service job posting required a willingness to use “deadly force” apparently triggered Facebook’s leftist fact-checking partners.
Both Meta companies Facebook and Instagram slapped The Heritage Foundation with a “Missing Context” label for posts that read: “ICYMI: ‘Be willing to use deadly force if necessary’ (The IRS edited this job listing yesterday).” An archived IRS article indicates that a job listing for “special agents” within the Criminal Investigation branch of the agency did in fact say that “major duties” required agents to “[c]arry a firearm and be willing to use deadly force, if necessary.”
But leftist Facebook fact-checking partner Lead Stories constructed a straw man that Facebook and Instagram put under The Heritage Foundation’s posts. The fact-check papered over the language of the initial job listing. An updated version of the job listing revealed that the “deadly force” language was edited out following major backlash. “Fact Check: IRS Is NOT Trying To Arm All Its Agents,” the Lead Stories headline blares.

Globalists trying to keep everyone in line.
I don’t think they are going to hire 80,000 new IRS employees.
I think it’s just going to be stolen money for Democrats.

Why is anyone still using Fecebook?
Just FYI - Instagram is a Facebook company.
And nobody should be using either.
“IRS Is NOT Trying To Arm All Its Agents...”
That could be true. Do the top lawmakers carry guns? Ever see Biden with one that he was prepared to make the decision to use it on a person? All businesses have security and they are paid to make that determination. Otherwise, they would be stolen blind. So is arming tax acquiring people that produce no product to protect about protection or intimidation to retain the product the citizens produce? Sounds more like theft than anything else. And it’s all about money.

Im sure we all are just taking entirely out of context.
Their fact check headline is in need of fact checking. Where did Heritage say the IRS is arming ALL of its agents?
The 87,000 new hires are across the next 10 years.
Sounds to me like this is more about the second amendment than the first.
Are they going to be auditing your gun safe at the same time they are rummaging-through your finances? Just wondering!
