The song “Thank God and Greyhound” comes to mind.
He should have been “retired” by force and led away in chains long ago. Felon.
Thank God! Let’s throw a party! I’ll bring the BBQ brisket.
“They” never gave him a fair opportunity to do things?? Who exactly is “they”??? Is this a new liberal complaint?? That “they” interfered with Obamas plans, that he wasn’t able to shove even more liberalism down our throats because of some unnamed “they” or political opponents???
Will they put a white or Hispanic person in for Harlem???
Nice to see another career race-baiting, criminal thug go away.
Bless his heart. Now he’ll have time to mow his lawn.
TAX CHEAT Charles Rangel.
What do they mean by “end of an era” when we all know Rangel will be replaced by another corrupt pol who will become a 20-30 year occupant of that seat and become a millionaire in the process.
It doesn’t matter. He will be replaced by someone of the same politics and corruption. If you recall, Rangel replaced Adam Clayton Powell. This Congressional District will keep electing Corrupt politicians.
One step ahead of the Federal Marshalls....
HERE IS THE REAL CHARLES RANGEL
A TOOL WORKING FOR THE BLACK MUSLIMS

On April 14, 1972, a 10-13, or NYPD officer’s call for assistance from a man claiming to be a Detective Thomas, was received by police. The call came from 102 West 116th Street, the Nation of Islam Mosque No. 7, where Malcolm X was once minister.
Officer Phillip Cardillo and his partner Vito Navarra of the 28th Precinct responded, entering the mosque.[1] When they arrived at the mosque, they heard scuffling on the floor above. As they made their way to the staircase they were intercepted by 15 to 20 men who forced the officers to retreat down the stairs and back into the hallway. Police officers Victor Padilla and Ivan Negron, of the 25th Precinct, arrived and entered the premises. The officers were outnumbered and were then attacked. Cardillo’s partner was able to escape as a steel door was closed, trapping officers Cardillo, Padilla and Negron.[2][3][4]
According to the New York Police Department, the officers were attacked by around 15 to 20 congregants, were beaten, and stripped of their guns. Padilla was then beaten and blackjacked into semi-consciousness while his partner fought off several men who were trying to grab his revolver. With his back to the door, officer Negron suddenly heard shots. Negron turned and saw a man with a gun in his hand who seemed to be getting up from the floor where officer Cardillo now lay shot.[3][4]
During the incident, Officer Cardillo was assaulted, stripped of his firearm and was shot at point-blank range. Negron, managing to free himself from his attackers, drew his revolver and fired three shots. It is not known if the man with the gun was hit; he escaped.
Officer Rudy Andre of the 28 Pct., broke the glass on the front metal door and saw the patrolmen inside on their backs.
He fired several shots through the broken glass into the hallway which scattered the men who had been assaulting the officers, thus enabling officer Negron to unbolt the double metal door.
During the melee, officers Cardillo and Padilla were seriously injured.[2][5]
During the initial attempt to enter the mosque, police officers, including Cardillo’s partner Officer Vito Navarra, claimed that prior to being forced out, they witnessed a man named Louis 17X Dupree standing over the dying Cardillo with a gun in hand. After reinforcements arrived, allowing police to retake the mosque, Dupree and several others were initially arrested at the scene.
However, before Dupree could be taken into custody, Louis Farrakhan and Congressman Charles B. Rangel arrived at the scene, threatening a riot if Dupree was not released.[6]
An unrepentant Farrakhan would later state that the officers “charged into our temple like criminals and were treated like criminals.”
I would have bet every last penny it was a given to see old Charlie’s beach sleeping pic on this thread. Heck even before the posting section. That Charlie is exiting in the vertical rather than stiff horizontal position is a little surprising. Should have happened 2 decades ago.
I’m really surprised.
I figured Charlie would be like Julia Carson here in Indiana where his final couple years would involve a comatose body being wheeled onto the Capitol building floor for house votes.
He’s not gonna “rangel” his way out of judgment.
I guess he's stolen enough.
The country has run out if things to steal
We are doomed
A rat leaving a sinking ship.
