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.

jap itilian.
He’s definitely different.
Says another politician with body guards.
You really need to remember you work for us. Steal what we have and tell us what to do then make it so we can’t defend our selves. How bad is that
MORON!!!!!
What a dumbass
If you get protection so do we. We have a right to self protect.
Why do stars and any rich people think k it’s OK for them to have armed guards and for the everyday person not to have protection? Why care they better?
When these politicians reach this level they need to be taught a lesson!!!
Is that old senile old fart still around?
