Demacrook Charlie Rangel (D-NY) told reporters at NY1 that the tea party patriots were just like the groups that attacked blacks during the civil rights movement.

NY1 has the transcript:
“The group that were in Washington fighting against the health bill and fighting against the President, looked just like and sounded just like those groups that attacked the civil rights movement in the South.”
Of course, several videos of the incident revealed there was no racial attack by the DC tea party protesters. Not even a reward offer of $100,000 has helped produce any proof of a racist incident.
Rep. Rangel needs to apologize as do the racist Black Caucus members who fabricated this story.
