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:
Ruh roh you got it backwards as yall usally do.
Nice try !! Not !! It was the democrats
This is NOT ignorance on his part. He just got caught ‘stretching the truth’ & is backtracking. He “misspoke”..????
This is a classic example of ‘psychological projection’ mixed with Democratic, PC politics. He’s deliberately shifting guilt, blame, from the Democrats onto Republicans for political gain. He knows the truth about the Klan’s origin & probably can name many of them & or knew some in Congress in the past.
MHO.
He is willfully ignorant of the history of America and his own party
You can’t fix stupid in his case not only him but the idiots that keep voting for him
And far too many people who listen to this liar will believe this is the truth. This man should be in prison!
What a dumb a$$ everyone knows the dems did it.
Democrats known a Dixie crats created KuKluxKlan to fight against reconstruction and giving Backs voting rights and property rights etc. What ever the reason thatart of history was a mess.

Liar
