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.

All animals are equal but some are more equal than others! What a scumbag!
Mr Rengel, it’s us attitudes like this we can do without.
Good to hear from Good Time Charlie, been quite as of late, he is still full of c**p, but good to hear him.
Put his$#%&!@*in jail
Poster boy for term limits!
What we need protection from is sleazy thieving political hacks like you!
Different? How so? Only difference is that we are stupid; for putting stupid people like Rangel in office in the first place.
Yeah, the people heard the same song and dance from$#%&!@* Stalin, Castro, Mao and other murdering dictators. Rangel doesn’t know his history, we do!
The more money and power they have the worse they are. It is easier for a rich man to enter the eye of a needle, then to enter the Kingdom of God. Rich people think only of themselves and treat others like they are nothing. I dislike rich prudes.
Charlie rinkles needs a life lesdon..
