Explosion was "our community's 9/11"
quote:


Rep. Charles Rangel called an apparent building explosion and collapse in his district in Harlem of New York City the most “horrific” thing that has hit his home district in his time in Washington and said it is his community’s Sept. 11.

“I’ve never had anything this horrific that’s happened in my community since I’ve been in Washington,” Rangel told NBC’s New York affiliate Wednesday as news reports of the fire response continued to come in. “I hope that soon, and very soon, it will be contained and we can go back to some degree of normal normalcy.”

Rangel said the lack of information heightened the worry.

He's never worried about being behind the information curve previously.

At least two persons were killed and 16 injured, The New York Times reported after Rangel’s interview.


That's offensive that he is comparing the two.

Wow. The only things this apartment fire and 9/11 have in common is New York. As sad as it is to say that 2 people have died, that is a slow Tuesday for murders in East Harlem.

What he means is that HIS people weren't affected since in his mind, only jewish white people worked in the world trade center.

So why do the dems keep him in office if he is, oh, that's right, they only allow the non-thinking blacks who follow the dem plantation orders. That's what you are saying? You are telling us that the dems excuse him but keep him in office just like they do Obama who has lied to the American people about Obamacare, the deaths of four Americans in Benghazi, NSA, IRS, etc.

Expect Sharpton and Jackson to show up and try to extort money from some company or cause.

He is a tax-evader and should be in jail but isn't. We put common citizens in jail and demand more from them yet the ruling elites like Wrangel are not held to the same standards of the law like the citizens are.

Rangel was having tax issues at the same time little Timmy Geithner was having to pay back taxes.
