As the IRS scandal continues to worsen for the White House, grassroots activists took to the streets today in Cincinnati and across the country to protest the targeting of conservative groups. With IRS officials pleading the 5th and public outrage growing, it’s safe to say this scandal won’t be going away any time soon. Below is a rundown of the coverage from ground zero:

WASHINGTON – Today, Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus announced the RNC raised $7.2 million in April 2013, the first month after the release of the Growth and Opportunity report, bringing the committee’s cash on hand total to $9.8 million.
