Charlie Rangel is a crook and a cheat. In 2008 he was charged by the House of Representatives Ethics committee, and found guilty on eleven counts, including not reporting rental income and income tax improprieties. He was removed from the Ways and Means committee as a result, which directs how money is spent by the government. But he has been a loud-mouth and a divisive, partisan hack since his earliest days in the House, but it seems that his style and ethics are to the liking of the Democrat party and his New York constituents, and he is the second longest serving member in the House.
Never short on opinions, he suggests that the financial recovery under Barack Obama has not been strong enough or fast enough (true), but his answer is to expand the meme of “social justice” which generally means more welfare, reparations for slavery, and whole host of other giveaways to his African-American supporters. In the video on the next page Rangel also shows how challenged he is with actual U.S. history, and it is clear that many of his positions are founded on ignorance of the facts.
See page 2 for embarrassing Rangel comments:
Ah, Mr. Rangel, here is an education lesson for you. It was the Democrats that created ‘The Ku Klux Klan.’ Quit blaming the Republicans and help bring both parties to work together for the SAKE OF THE PEOPLE IN AMERICA.
No the KKK was a democrat institution!!
YOUR WRONG….QUIT LYING FOOL
No No nice try’ Buddy’
How stupid does he think we are? I guess anybody who believes this garbage must be!
He lies it was the demacrat party
KYING SIV! THE DEMOCRATS CREATED OT MANY YEARS AGO. AND HURT ALOT OF BLACKS AND BLAMED IT ON REPUBLICANS. SENATOR ROBERT BIRD, A DUMBACRAT WAS ITS GRAND DRAGON!
No sir. The fact is the Democrat extreme left created the KKK to stop black folks from voting. Robert Byrd of WV. was high in the KKK, oh, he was a democrat. The democrats filibustered the congress for the longest filibuster in American history to stop blacks from being able to vote. Look up Strom Thurmond.
Here ya go! In opposition to the Civil Rights Act of 1957, he conducted the longest filibuster ever by a lone senator, at 24 hours and 18 minutes in length, nonstop. In the 1960s, he opposed the civil rights legislation of 1964 and 1965 to end segregation and enforce the constitutional rights of African-American citizens, including suffrage. He insisted he had never been a racist, but was opposed to excessive federal authority. He attributed the movement to Communist agitators.[5]
Hey stupid we know the dems created the K.K.K and still support them
