Breitbart: NEW YORK (AP) — Former U.S. Rep. Charles Rangel of New York, an outspoken, gravel-voiced Harlem Democrat who spent nearly five decades on Capitol Hill and was a founding member of the Congressional Black Caucus, died Monday at age 94.
His family confirmed the death in a statement provided by City College of New York spokesperson Michelle Stent. He died at a hospital in New York, Stent said.
A veteran of the Korean War, he defeated legendary Harlem politician Adam Clayton Powell in 1970 to start his congressional career. During the next 40-plus years, he became a legend himself as dean of the New York congressional delegation and, in 2007, the first African American to chair the powerful Ways and Means Committee. more
Grandma taught us, in some
situations, to say nothing at all.
BANJOWILLY, I GET IT AND CERTAINLY WAS FAR APART FROM THIS DUDE ON THE ISSUES
HOWEVER, ON MEMORIAL DAY, DEDICATED TO THOSE WHO FOUGHT AND DIED ON THE BATTLEFIELD, RANGEL WAS AT LEAST A COMBAT VET (KOREA), DID COME HOME BUT WITH (I THINK) BRONZE STAR AND PURPLE HEART
SO, I WILL SAY REST IN PEACE, MR RANGEL
Does anyone know where his grave will be? I would hate to waste a piss when I’m in the neighborhood. What an unbelievable racist.
Enjoying a rent-controlled apartment in hell I’m thinking.
One of those people who make me say, “Huh…I thought he was already dead.” And then I get on with my day.
Rangel was just spotted in Satan’s office signing up to continue voting for Democrats.
(¡¡BENITO THE BOMBED BEANER!!)
You’re welcome to laud him in any way you see fit. This is America and you have that right. I too am a combat veteran. That doesn’t change anything about me, so toss your guilt somewhere else. He was a dishonest, money grubbing, for sale grifter who took advantage of his high position, and like so many others, screwed over America
What took ya so long Chuck?
So how many days will we have to listen to the endless praises that are going to be heaped, undeservedly, upon him?
BANJOWILLY, I HAVE ZERO FUCKING GUILT
I AM A COMBAT VET, HELPED TO GLADLY SINK THE IRANIAN NAVY BASTARDS IN THE PERSIAN GULF 4/18/88, LAST MAJOR NAVAL BATTLE IN HISTORY
WENT BACK FOR MORE, PROUDLY
I MAY BE MORE ANTI-LEFT, PRO-TRUMP THAN ANYONE HERE
TRYING TO BE CLASSY AND CHRISTIAN, SORRY IF THAT’S LOST ON YOU
that’s not Christian. try actually reading what Jesus said. try Luke 17 Benito
your virtue signaling is as fake as Abigail Adams
LOOK EVERYBODY, WE HAVE JESUS HIMSELF, AKA JPM
Now he’s a “good” communist…
BENITO
First off I never served. But pops flew 36 strait in a B24 and he would have said the exact same as you.
CHEERS, BRAD
I COUNT YOU AS A VET TOO
GOD BLESS YOU, YOUR FAMILY, AND YOUR GREAT POPS!!
Sad. Anyway anyone know a good remedy for spots on my azalea leaves?
BENITO
Nah, I never made that sacrifice or earned that right. Charles Rangel did. I’ll shut up now.
BRAD, YOU ARE A GOOD MAN, DUDE
THERE’S POLITICS, AND THERE’S REAL LIFE FOR THE REST OF US
Hey, Diogenes!
Copper fungicide. lol
I know he passed, and we should just let this go, but the articles saying he is “legendary” congressman have a short memory problem.
“Charlie Rangel faced multiple ethics violations, including failing to report income, soliciting donations using congressional resources, and misusing a rent-controlled apartment. He was found guilty of 11 out of 13 charges, but the ethics committee stated there was no evidence of corruption, only financial negligence.”
passed, in the same fashion as solid waste
RIP
Apparently only the good die young.
can have respect for combat-vet time, nothing else
The only thing that changes when a democrat dies is another permanent vote for eternity.
A total parasite. But then, who voted for him over and over?
Besides his service take a look at what this scumbag did in regards to the assassination of NYPD Police Officer Philip Cardillo. It occurred in Harlem, the 25Pct decades ago inside of Mosque #7. The muzzies called in a “10-13” which is Officer needs everyone, you hope to never hear that call. Handful of Officers ran inside and they savages locked the door behind them pummeling the Officers. Apparently that was not enough, as Officer Cardillo lay bleeding and basically unconscious one of the muzzies removed his .38 from his holster, lifted his head and pumped a few round into it, killing him.
PD had 16 suspects locked in a basement room and wanted to cuff em like a daisy chain and walk em out. Rangel and i think Farakhan said no way. So they had an agreement, they would bring the perps down the 25Pct…..never happened. Here is the kicker, they washed up the crime scene so zero evidence was recovered. Not all war “heroes” are good people
So in closing, if you guys didn’t know now you do. Retired Det wrote all about it, book is called “Circle of Six”. My mother thanked me when i gave it to her to read but said she has never been so infuriated in her life about such a thing. Guess it’s because two of her boys and all their friends went on to become NYPD Officers and thankfully we made it outta there
