TheTolerence of Abuse

Catherine Engelbrecht and her family run a small oil-field machinery business in Texas. She also works as a poll-watcher and, In 2009, after seeing numerous instances of what she thought was voter fraud, she founded two conservative political groups, the King Street Patriots and True the Vote. In 2010 she applied to the IRS for non-profit status for those groups. She appeared in front of the House Oversight Committee the first week of February 2014 and the following is her response to questions from Ohio Rube-publican James Jordan:

"Ms. Engelbrecht, in the first 20 years of business, did OSHA ever visit your place of business?”
“No sir.”
“Never once?”
“No sir.”
“After you filed the [tax-exempt application for King Street Patriots], OSHA visited then, right?”
“Yes sir.”
“In the first 20 years of business did the [Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms] ever come to your business?”
“No sir.”
“And they came a couple times once you filed your application?”
“Yes sir.”
“And in your first 20 years of business, did the IRS ever audit you?”
“No sir.”
“But once you filed your application, they audited you?”
“Many times.”
“And in your first 20 years of business, did the FBI ever visit you?”
“No sir.”
“But once you filed your application, did they visit you?”
“Six times.”

What a coincidence.
