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:
IDIOT
What ever
LBJ talked about welfare as a cynical ploy to get blacks to vote for Democrats. “I’ll have those ni***rs voting Democrats for two hundred years”. That’s the side Rangel is on. That LBJ quote sums up the way Democrats really feel about their special protected PC victim groups.
dems did that
Your an embarrassment you don’t even know history
This guy should read history !
Absolutely false. It is important to know our Nation’s history. The Democratic Party created the KKK. They also were not in support of the Equal Rights Movement. The Democrats also were against abolishing slavery . They created a Welfare system to entrap people, failed in job creation, and drove people into poverty. It is the Progressives that took over the Democratic Party to push Socialism. They have no intent on Making America Great Again. They also hijacked the media to aid them in their effort to change this Country into a Socialist Society.
What a dumb ass
