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:
Yeah your right. Politicians as re crooks. Not all regular folk are. We need guns to protect us from scum like you.
This guy makes me want to puke. He’s a first class slime ball.
Neither do you$#%&!@*
It sounds like he is saying that politicians have earned the death threats.
These are the morons making the laws that govern us but not them
You are a real Idiot, Proof we need term limites,
He’s right about one thing. It’s different. It’s different because we CARE about the little guys. We ARE the little guys. We love our families and care what happens to them.
This is the reason that we the “Peasants” need weaponry!
HE’S SENILE NEEDS TO RETIRE OVER DUE ABOUT 40yrs
F. U.$#%&!@*
