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:

Rangel knows the truth. This is typical of what the Democrats do. They’re revisionists. They turn their history around and put it on the Republicans.
Wrong as usual. If Rangel had lived at the time when the KKK was begun he would most likely have tried to disguise himself in order to receive his own white robe and hood. He is today keeping his own people in slavery to the ballot box through deception and empty promises.
Can’t fix stupid Charlie!!
LYING IGNORANT POS
Didn’t his$#%&!@*go to jail yet ?
Another lying dem
one ignorant bastard
Everyone knows that the Democrats are the father of the KKK and the white supremacist movement. Typical commie and facist tactic. If history doesn’t fit the narrative, change history. Remember Pol Pot? When the Khmer Rouge took power, he came out and told the Cambodians that he didn’t kill that “Today is day 0”.
oh yea all democrats who did that.
Liar, fact is the democrat party created the KKK, LEARN your history.
