Move the children out of the room as we visit Rep. Charlie Rangel’s (D-NY) press conference yesterday:

Rangel: “So one of the things that I would use, hoping that it might catch on, is that I’m going to see how much damn ink The Washington Post has.”

and

Rangel: “I don’t think Trump has a foundation, but he hasn’t given a damn nickel toward CCNY.”

and

Rangel: “General Electric wasn’t — that had nothing to do with CCNY. And I didn’t send them any letter, but I damned sure leaned on them to help us out in the city of New York as they have throughout the country.”

and

Reporter: “Are you — so can we infer — would it be safe for us to infer that you are not planning to change the way you go about raising money for the Rangel Center? You’ll continue to use congressional stationery in…”
Rangel: “God damn, I think — I really think — I think you’re being annoying now because you cannot be creative.”

and

Question: “Sir, are you going to ask for more earmarks as well for this project?”
Rangel: “Well, yes, damn it. The earmarks won’t go through, because we can’t get it through now.”

and

Rangel:  “I really wish I felt so independent I could say it’s nobody’s damn business where I live, as long as I’m paying the legal rent.”

Damn he’s good.

Congress
