Former New York Gov. David Paterson (D) said Monday that Rep. Charles
Rangel’s (D-N.Y.) recent remarks comparing the Tea Party to
segregationists were “out of line.”
The comment was prompted by Rangel’s statement
last Friday in a Daily Beast interview that Tea Party supporters were
“the same group we faced in the South with those white crackers and the
dogs and the police.”
“I thought it was totally out of line for [Rangel] to lump what went on
during the desegregation movement in with people who just have honest
political disagreements,” said Paterson.
