Rep. Charlie Rangel, D-N.Y., is using alleged police brutality victims to raise money for a re-election campaign he promised not to run.
Rangel, the veteran Harlem congressman, barely eked out an electoral victory this year in part by vowing to retire in 2016.
But citing the deaths of Michael Brown and Eric Garner at the hands of police, Rangel earlier this month asked supporters to pony up for another electoral bid.[…]
The Dec. 4 email also urges voters to attend various rallies across the country to protest alleged police brutality, including one taking place that day in New York City.
Don’t be a bystander of injustice. In New York City and across the country, there are peaceful protests, poignant gatherings and vigils to demand justice and demonstrate that black lives matter. In New York, the NAACP and other groups will be meeting at 5:30 PM at Foley Square (Worth and Centre Streets downtown). Join together to say: this stops today!
We’ve come a long, long way from how we got here, but we have a long way to go.
