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:
Right, we don’t have armed security and live in gated communities (many of us at least)
how many times can I hit you, with a 2 x 4?
The American people have a constitutional right to own and bare guns you idiot. Its people that are encouraged by nuts like you to live outside of the law that requires us to be armed.
Arrogant$#%&!@*
Rangel is a senile old fool who needs to retire to the nut house or be retired!
This$#%&!@*does need a shot in the head.
Let’s take your pay an the health care away from you then, that we pay for you.
Shut up theif
Maybe politicians should lose their protection and maybe they would straighten up!!! Put the fear of God in them!!!!
Rangel is a BIG donkeys$#%&!@*!!
