Summer of corruption: The enablers of Charlie Rangel (a reprimand???)

My column today exposes the swamp creatures who coddled and protected Charlie Rangel all these years. Three House Dems have called on him to resign. And Democrats here in Colorado are bailing on him. But it’s too little, too late to mask the Democrat Party’s Rangel stench.

Below I slam the House ethics panel for its wrist-slap wimpiness. Underscoring my point: The NYPost reports today that the panel is pushing for the least-punitive action against Rangel — a reprimand.

Would any court in our country give you a reprimand if you did the same thing. Rangle needs to be treated the same way you and I would be treated. Kick him out of Congress and send him to jail.

There’s an easy way to make that happen, just get him to become a Republican./sarc

Is anybody surprised? This was obviously always just for show.

They are also sending a strongly worded letter of protest to North Korea...

All right. It’s obvious now that the democrats and us live in two separate and very different worlds. There is no chance of these two worlds ever being reconciled. Democrats and other marxists have just accepted corruption, baptized it, raised it on a pedestal, and worshiped it. They have rejected all the principles that normal people live by and openly embraced corruption.

I thought Pelosi was going to drain the swamp?

I don’t remember Randy “Duke” Cunningham just getting a “reprimand”. It’s time for Charlie “Chump Change” Rangel to do a little time in the Iron Bar Motel.

Bet Charlie had a lot say about Duke at the time.

Both Cunningham and Rangel were heroes while in the military. Both went to Washington and lost their way. The difference is Rangel joined the party that will protect corruption to the bitter end.
