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:
Yah, you got that right. We are different. We’re better.
You’re telling me they’re different than politicians. The average one is 1000 times more honest, medium to low income, hard working, not skin hounds, or murderers, etc.etc. we need to be armed to protect us , we do not have armed security guards.
MORON .
You’re wrong there , they don’t have jobs that lets them lie and steal like yours with no repercussions !
And there you have it.
When people are afraid of governement, there is tyranny; when governrment is afraid of people, there is freedom.
Soooo citizens are different because we don’t count and should not be able to defend ourselves!
WHAT A MORON!!!!
He needs to check his background, with that hair of his. Somewhere in his pedigree a$#%&!@*got over the wall.
How’s that Citizen Rangel ? You afraid the peasants will storm your Castle ?
