Well, this thread has gone pretty much as one might have expected!

What were you expecting.

Hadn't heard his name mentioned in quite a while.

Look at the host of idiots that have followed him.

He could not compete with the idiocy of AOC, the Sqat, jeffries, or Schiffhead.

His voice always reminded me of Carol Channing’s voice.

Rest in peace. He never stole a freight train.

Rangel, one of the longest-serving members of Congress, died on Memorial Day at age 94, according to a statement from the City College of New York, where he served after leaving politics. CCNY didn’t state a cause of death.

Known for his genial manner, the gravelly voiced lawmaker was an unmistakable presence on Capitol Hill when he served as Upper Manhattan’s Democratic representative from 1971 to 2017, and he was part of a powerful political circle of Black leaders in New York.

In the 2000s, Rangel became an outspoken critic of President George W. Bush and the Iraq war. He became the first Black chairman of the influential House Ways and Means Committee, which presides over taxes and many social and health programs.

Ethics problems pushed him out in 2018. He'd served forever.

I didn't like him, but I respect anyone who shows up.

R.I.P.

I've been thinking about this since I heard. Do democrats celebrate him or should he not be celebrated due to extreme ethics violations? Sounds like a little bit of a pickle to me.

Like with most politicians there are things I liked and things I didn't .He was a regular on the Sunday news shows. That is one thing I liked about him not afraid to face it. His war record in Korea is a profile in courage.
Like all of us he will be judged justly by God an History. R.I.P.

He showed up on Sunday shows because that's the publicity wing of the Democrat Party.

He is beloved because of the violations.

That you know of.
Democrat mishaps don't really get reported.

Are you confusing 'slavery' with 'service' because you consider service a form of slavery?

Involuntary servitude is slavery, moron.

How did you get so fucking stupid?

Meh, he was a lying tax dodging Dem scumbag.
