HARRISBURG – Republican Party of Pennsylvania Spokesman Mike Barley called on Congressman Paul Kanjorski to join his colleague Congresswoman Betty Sutton (D-OH) in calling on Congressman Charlie Rangel to resign.
“The time has come for Paul Kanjorski to show some leadership for a change,” Barley said. “Will he support the questionable ethics of Charlie Rangel or do the right thing and call for his resignation immediately. Now that one Democrat has stood up and called for his resignation, will Paul Kanjorski do the same?
“The fact that the people of the 11th Congressional District would even have to ask that question is further proof that Paul Kanjorski does not share their values and cares far more about fitting in with the Nancy Pelosi crowd in Washington, D.C. than doing the right thing on behalf of hardworking Pennsylvania families.”
Last week, The Hill reported that Ohio Democrat Congresswoman Betty Sutton publicly called on Congressman Charlie Rangel to resign, noting that “this is about the public trust.” (Shane d’April, “Exclusive: House Democrat Calls On Rep.
