"First of all, the government should never be weaponized. Never, ever. Not by any party, not by any person, not by the president, and by the way, I think that we had exceedingly powerful presidents the last three presidents. We've gotten out of balance. The legislative branch is no longer equal to the executive branch and that really concerns me."
"If it's bad for Obama to do it, it's bad for Trump to do it. I don't like the government being too powerful. In fact, most of the laws I focus on are to rein back in bureaucracies and even presidential power to make sure that we're in balance with our Constitution, which is very frustrating to people because everyone wants to see change, but it's the way we were designed on purpose."
Rep. Rich McCormick warned President Donald Trump against installing allies at the IRS to investigate Democratic donors. He stated that the government should never be weaponized by any party, person, or president. He argued that the legislative branch has become unequal to the executive branch, creating an imbalance of power. He emphasized that his legislative focus is to rein in bureaucracies and presidential power to maintain constitutional balance. He cautioned against using retaliatory tactics and named agencies such as the IRS, EPA, and education as potential instruments of misuse.
