Another House Democrat says Rangel should resign

Minnick told IdahoReporter.com that initially he wanted the voters of Rangel’s New York district to decide his fate in November, but that he has since changed his mind and feels that Rangel should step down. ”I think it was appropriate for Rep. Rangel to step down from his post as a committee chair pending the investigation, but I always prefer to let voters decide whether or not someone should keep his or her seat,” said Minnick. ”However, now that the investigation is complete, and provided the facts are as alleged, I think it’s clear that he should resign from Congress.”
