Picture a man who believes that he is better than his peers. A man who believes that he is important enough to warrant special protection but that everyone else should be prohibited from taking even basic steps to protect themselves.
Such a man exists, and his name is Charlie Rangel.
A longtime Congressman from New York, Rangel has agitated on behalf of virtually every left-wing hobby horse since the 1970’s. He is pro-abortion, pro-open borders, and vehemently anti-Second Amendment.
Notice how I didn’t say he is anti-gun. That’s because he isn’t, as he made abundantly clear in an interview with The Daily Caller. Questioned by the outlet about the recent scandal involving well-connected individuals bribing NYPD officials in order to obtain the city’s rarely-granted concealed carry permits, Rangel gloated over how hard it was for New Yorkers to carry firearms within the city.
When his interviewer countered that he and his fellow congressmen were protected by armed police officers, however, the congressman offered this reason for the apparent discrepancy between his politics and his personal situation: politicians like him “need to be protected” because their situation is a “little different” from the average citizen.
Watch a video about Rangel’s hypocrisy on guns on the next page:
You don’t need to be in Washington at all time they recycle you
sir, what makes you better than the average citizen? you forget the average citizen put you in office and can take you out
Idiot
You are an idiot.
We need protection from the likes of you MF’r!
We have real jobs unlike you you need no protection make it a gun free zone you will be all right
Rangel like pelosi is delusional
idiot
Whatever this man says is voided by the fact that he is a crook in every sense of the word. And a huge tax cheat also. Fire him and prosecute him !
“Let’s be honest, when the left is in power, they don’t give a damn what constitutional conservatives think…and probably because we don’t “feel” as a primary motive,” “The left, i.e. Obama, told his political opposition that they won, and rammed their agenda down America’s throat. And after eight years, that agenda was repudiated and rejected, which REALLY angered the left who feels that anyone not agreeing with their vision is stupid, ignorant, racist, sexist, and suffering from multiple phobias.”
“And oddly enough, even after losing, based on policy failure, the left continues to feel the same way,” . “Well, good luck with that!”. My advice to the House and Senate GOP is, borrowing from the Nike maxim, “Just Do It.” If for one single minute you believe you’re going to appease and make the New York Times, Washington Post, LA Times, CNN, NBC, MSNBC, or any other leftist media outlet happy and like me, well, you would have to have been “smoking crack”
