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:
He is just trying to reach the ignorant people churned out from liberal progressive ideology being taught from grade school thru college. Educated people know the correct history. Democrats were the founding fathers of KKK killing people whole sale before being stopped.
He knows but trying to reach the ignorants who believe his line of c**p and lies.
LIAR!
Dumb dumb the KKK was created by Democrats.
Total moron
NO DEMOCRATS DID.
DUMB$#%&!@*!!
Uh oh, it was the Dems! See why they want to erase history?
You need a history lesson.
Strange that all members were democrats and lived in democratic states. Check the history, please.
