Rep. Claudia Tenney, R-N.Y., compared the Inflation Reduction Act's 87,000 new IRS agents to a "Democratic militia" thorughout her latest Newsmax appearance.

Tenney claimed Wednesday on "The Chris Salcedo Show" that the measure would exacerbate a growing "two-tier" justice system between Republicans and Democrats and facilitate the federal government's further growth.

"We have way too many people serving in the federal government, and we also have a thing called civil service, where we can't get rid of people who aren't doing their job," Tenney stated.

"Whether it's cooking up a Russian collusion hoax, falsifying information and presenting it to a FISA court, ... these people have so much power. Think about what just happened to the former president," she continued, citing the FBI's recent raid of Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago residence.

The New York congresswoman then walked through the series of internal department events that led up to the FBI and Justice Department's raid, which they have not provided a reason for thus far.

"We have a judge in Florida who's actually a magistrate. He's not an elected judge," Tenney stated. "He is someone ... who in June actually recused himself from a case involving Hillary Clinton and President Trump — and now suddenly isn't recusing himself and issues a search warrant without what appears to be legitimate probable cause."

Tenney further condemned inaction by Congress on the Biden administration reportedly providing China with "revolutionary battery technology" via license transfer last year, an action that NPR noted earlier this month.

"We spent six years with our scientists and $15 million in taxpayer money to come up with this technology for it to go to China," she stated.

"And so China's profiting off American taxpayers' investment into intellectual property and the creation of battery technology," the congresswoman reiterated.

A link to a job posting for "Criminal Investigation Special Agents" appeared to have been briefly deleted on Wednesday, after online denouncement of the posting's language, though it reappeared back online after a FOX Business inquiry to the agency.

A "key requirement" for applicants is that they have to be "legally allowed to carry a firearm," and "major duties" include "Carry a firearm and be willing to use deadly force, if necessary" and "Be willing and able to participate in arrests, execution of search warrants, and other dangerous assignments," according to the job posting.

The requirement that agents be inclined to use "deadly force, if necessary" drew heated denouncement online, although the same language appears in job postings for different law enforcement agencies, such as the FBI.

"The IRS Criminal Investigation special agent job announcement continues to be open on USAJobs and has not/was not taken down. USAJobs is where these positions are posted and where applicants are referred to in order to apply," an IRS spokesperson told FOX Business.
