Democrat members of the House of Representatives killed a Republican motion on Sunday aimed at protecting Americans from IRS surveillance of their private finances in the latest instance of Nancy Pelosi’s caucus seeking to give government a larger and more intrusive role in Americans’ lives.

The motion to recommit, brought to the House floor by Rep. Kevin Brady (R-TX), would have stripped funding Democrats included in President Biden’s budget bill to increase IRS enforcement and also prohibited the creation of an IRS program to spy on Americans’ bank accounts.

Speaking on the floor in support of his motion, Rep. Brady — who also serves as the ranking member on the House Ways and Means Committee — said that “there is more than just nonsense in” the Build Back Better budget.
