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:
He is some kind of “SPECIAL”. Should be riding a special bus out of town.
Fucking this assshole, I fought for the constitution and the freedoms of all in this country – go ahead try and take my guns, will be a long day that ends badly
No they bleed the same. This is the trouble with politicians!
drop dead yourself
That Elitist Imperialist attitude!!!! Sleaze ball!
You are so right Charlie. You are different than normal people. Normal people need guns to protect themselves from what politicians do, immigrants, and people who will not abide by the laws congressmen make. It doesnt take a scientist to figure this out.
This guy gives me the creeps.
Lt. Cadumbo says, “Oh excuse me sir, just one more thing: We can’t let you have a gun, your life just isn’t worth protecting.”
So if I understand this right he’s saying he’s a lot better then the regular citizen.
Jackass Communist
