New York Rep. Charles Rangel (D) said Wednesday that some of his colleagues in Congress are trying to “take both sides” on the proposed Lower Manhattan mosque.
…”I don’t know, look, would you not believe that I have my hands full in New York?” Rangel responded. “No, I am saying that the issue is politicized. And I do know that candidates — and I include myself — that are running for election or re-election are not rational people. I mean, we don’t want anything to interfere with our re-election. And if some pollster comes and says that, you know, five out of 10 people are against this, then we take both sides. You know?”
