Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell tells Newsmax TV that the current scandal facing the Internal Revenue Service proves that the agency cannot be trusted to implement Obamacare.
"I don’t think so," the Kentucky Republican says in an exclusive interview. "I don’t think we ought to have Obamacare. We ought to pull it out root and branch, if we possibly can.
"And, certainly, the IRS part of administering Obamacare, particularly in the wake of this IRS scandal with regard to suppressing the views of Americans who were critical of the IRS, raises further suspicions about their involvement in the administration of Obamacare."
Obamacare has 47 separate provisions that involve the IRS. It is the second-largest agency, after the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, charged with implementing the Affordable Care Act.
The IRS has to implement Obamacare’s required purchase of health coverage, checking whether millions of Americans are in compliance.
Speaking to the current scandal embroiling the IRS, McConnell tells Newsmax that Congress would investigate the targeting of conservative groups "for as long as it takes to get the truth."

Hey Mitch, defund it. You should have all the votes right now in the house you need to do this.
I would guess its safe to say that not even Democrats want Obamacare!
Until Roberts is removed from the bench, all attempts at repeal will be nullified in court.
Jim check this link out;
Great find. Are you going to post it?
"Turbo Tax" Tim Geithner was Treasury Secretary when these crimes began and he ought to be pulled in front of a committee and grilled, the little puke.
Never, ever trust a fellow who evades taxes by giving him authority over the very entity he chose to evade. Its unbelievable he passed Congressional vetting.
I thinkin’ it’s high time to start the ‘great tax revolt of 2013’
[[McConnell: IRS Can’t Be Trusted to Implement Obamacare]]
No crap captain obvious- Now what’re you and yer fellow republicans in congress gonna do to stop dear leader from allowing htem to to run it?
And what are you going to do McConnell? Time for talk is past. You are nothing but a spineless pussy. It is every person for himself with this “leadership”.
No I need to get to bed.....
Congressional vetting has become a complete joke.
Ok, I’ll post it for you.
I plan as giving as much help to “leadership” as Lugar Cornyn and GOPee gave to Mr. Mourdock. NOTHING
There is another repeal vote on Obama Care tommorrow in the House.
Considering this IRS scandal and the IRS $440 million appropriation to enforce Obama care, maybe the repeal will pass the House and Senate.
That would be real nice.
Finally; a representative who come close to representing me.
How about: "Until it never happens again"?
That's not what Traitor Roberts wrote.
Bammy has years of potential SCOTUS appointments to go.
Quite true - although for a political strategy, connecting it to the current IRS scandal can serve to breathe new life into two very unpopular issues.
Other than Lugar, that’s just not true - not even close.
Mourdock shot himself in the foot. His loss is his own fault.
