Picture a man who believes that he is better than his peers. A man who believes that he is important enough to warrant special protection but that everyone else should be prohibited from taking even basic steps to protect themselves.
Such a man exists, and his name is Charlie Rangel.
A longtime Congressman from New York, Rangel has agitated on behalf of virtually every left-wing hobby horse since the 1970’s. He is pro-abortion, pro-open borders, and vehemently anti-Second Amendment.
Notice how I didn’t say he is anti-gun. That’s because he isn’t, as he made abundantly clear in an interview with The Daily Caller. Questioned by the outlet about the recent scandal involving well-connected individuals bribing NYPD officials in order to obtain the city’s rarely-granted concealed carry permits, Rangel gloated over how hard it was for New Yorkers to carry firearms within the city.
When his interviewer countered that he and his fellow congressmen were protected by armed police officers, however, the congressman offered this reason for the apparent discrepancy between his politics and his personal situation: politicians like him “need to be protected” because their situation is a “little different” from the average citizen.

Wow some thing smart came out of his mouth for a chance.
Senility is rampant!
His light is getting very dim. He is supposed to be an equal representative of the people. No better, no worse.
Thought he DIED?
Fool
Narcissistic bonehead
You got that right, the difference is all the money y’all are making off of the people! We need protection from your kind!
We The People say otherwise. When are we going to wake up and get a grip. These people do not care for us. It is past time to kick all of these UnAmericans to the curb and vote in God fearing people.
The elitist lybocrit has spoken. Exactly why I have zero faith in politicians
You don’t need any protection either!
