Appearing on MSNBC this week, Charlie Rangel expressed his opinion regarding the future of the Tea Party and Republicans.
People are coming to the office saying thank you so much. Nobody knows the amount of complaints people have that they have been cut off from insurance; they went bankrupt because of the bill, that they reached their limitations, they had a precondition, and so for those who are against it, without any plan at all, I am amazed that they can get by with it. You would think that the tea party has no old folks, no sick folks, no poor folks, no one on social security, no one on Medicare, no one that needs a living wage. You know, when you’re on the right side, whether it’s politics or business, you have to be patient. And we do have some people that don’t mind killing the Republican Party in 2016, embarrassing the Congress and having the economy to fail and they have proven that.

Got that? The Tea Party hates poor people, social security recipients, sick people, old people, women, children, Charlie Brown, puppies, Christmas carols, apple pie, your mom, fuzzy bunnies and THE LAUGHTER OF SMALL CHILDREN so intensely that they’re willing to destroy the republican party, the economy and the entire nation just on general spiteful principle. Man, you tea party people are mean. I mean like, Grinch mean. Like, Nelson Muntz mean. Like, Alan Grayson getting to McDonald’s ten minutes too late for breakfast mean. I’m talkin’ mean!
But don’t think he lets the party as a whole off the hook. Even without the mean mean mean tea mean party people, the republicans, and those who vote for them, still have plenty of awful to go around. Answering a sycophantic question about running for another term, Rangel expounds upon his own virtuous obligation to stay in congress, for America. He calls the relationship with republicans in Congress a “bad marriage”, and then then explains the evils they and their terrible, terrible voters pose to the greatest and most benevolent leader the world has ever known.
Oh Charlie. You do go on!
