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:
That’s why we need weapons for protection, politicians.
Hypocrite
So….you’re saying politicians need armed body guards, or guns in their own houses or on their person because 99% of the population want to kill the majority of politicians? You’re probably right about that aspect of it. But, sadly for YOU, we ALL live under that same document called the Constitution & we all have the same rights under the 2nd Amendment. Nice try, loser.
Until you are no longer a politician. Then you are a private citizen. Keep talking like this, and that will happen sooner than you think.
There you are America he means to say we are not up to Democratic standards
A whole
Duh!
Different as in you’re better than us?? You are a worthless racist$#%&!@* Charlie.
ALL THE MILLIONS OF CITIZENS THAT OWN LOT & LOTS (MILLIONS) OF GUNS NEED THEM TO FEND OFF ANY TAKEOVER THAT SOMEBODY WANTS TO TRY, WON’T WORK AND WE WILL ANNIHILATE & ELIMINATE AND DESTROY ANY AND ALL THAT THINK THEY CAN TAKE US DOWN. WE WILL NOT BOW DOWN TO ANYBODY
