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.

Thief.
He’s a jerk.
Yes we don’t steal from the whole country.

UH OH,, Old Charlie just joined the people in Washington that show their true colors , They don’t give a Damn about the people that keeps putting them there, until they want your votes !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe not in cities,still would have cause criminal activity, but in country where I live, there are wild animals, police is over 10 minutes away if at station
You mean this old fool thinks it’s ok for him to be protected by guns and not my family. This senile old man should be retired and sent to a funny farm.
I need gun protection from him trying to take my constitutional right away.
This leftist is also a felon.
