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.

Someday you’ll be sitting in your rocker all by yourself crying I was a congressman. No protection
Is this guy still around the circuit? 🙂
Long past any retirement age… He’s been eligible for decades…
we citizens need protection from this old criminal
” Tell Charlie Rangel” That when we need his opinion” We will send It to him” By Mail”, Fax”, E.mail”, Media”. Facebook”,
Why are all Democrats in the Senate and House so ignorant? Seriously!
To be that stupid he must be a muslim.
He’s basically just the East Coast’s Dianne Feinstein
This man has banking c**p since the beginning. He is a living reason why we should implement term limits, making them effective at the next election. For now we will have to listen to his c**p. He is another liberal lining his pockets.
How he ever got reelected after all his ethics violations is beyond me!!
