Rep. Michelle Bachmann, R-Minn., held a press conference to address the IRS targeting of Tea Party groups seeking tax exempt status. The chairwoman of the Tea Party Caucus didn't pull any punches as she suggested that the scandal was "far worse" than Watergate, according to the Minneapolis Star Tribune.

"We haven't even scratched the surface, we haven't even begun," Bachmann said. "This is far worse than Watergate. These are direct actions taken against American citizens who sought to exercise their free speech rights under the First Amendment."

Roughly 75 groups were given extra scrutiny by the IRS during an 18-month period that ended in summer of 2012, according to the Minneapolis Star Tribune. Bachmann insinuated that the IRS's actions may have turned the 2012 election in the favor of Obama.

"Progressive liberal groups in line with the administration were fast-tracked. Where the Tea Party groups were told to sit in the corner and on the curb and they were denied or delayed," Bachmann said. "We don't know how much impact that had on the last election, but we aim to find out."

None of the groups that were given extra scrutiny were denied tax exempt status, although some of the groups pulled their request in response to the extra inquiries, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

Bachmann would go on to connect the IRS scandal to Obamacare. Bachmann argued that the IRS will now have access to medical records because they are overseeing compliance of the new health care law, according to Politico.

"Could there potentially be political implications regarding health care?" Bachmann said. "Access to health care? Denial of health care? Will that happen based on a person's political beliefs, or a person's religiously held beliefs?"

Bachmann managed to avoid saying that she was going to start a campaign to impeach President Obama, although she did say that many of her constituents are demanding that she do so.

"I will tell you, as I have been home in my district, in the sixth district of Minnesota, there isn't a weekend that hasn't gone by that someone says to me, 'Michelle, what in the world are you all waiting for in Congress? Why aren't you impeaching the president? He has been making unconstitutional actions since he came into office,'" Bachmann said.
