Congressman Charles Rangel appeared on CNN’s Crossfire on July 15th to debate Congresswoman Michelle Bachmann on the Border Crisis in Texas and other issues.

During that debate, Ms. Bachmann managed to raise the ire of a normally cool, calm, and collected Van Jones by essentially labeling 57,000 South American child-refugees as rapists. But then, something magical happens when Congressman Rangel takes his turn. Watch:

There is a reason why Rangel’s constituents support him to this day: he’s an astute observer of human nature, a staunch defender of human rights, and a national treasure.

Well done, sir! Well done and thank you.
