Rep. Charles Rangel, the 80-year-old longtime congressman from Harlem, may scoff at the ethics violations he’s facing, but his Republican opponents are seizing on them as a rallying cry to regain control of the House in an anti-incumbent year that has even the safest of lawmakers worrying about their re-election.

And one of Rangel's Democratic primary challengers says the ethics violations are another reason why he should "hang it up" after 40 years in office.

It was disclosed Thursday that Rangel is being charged with multiple ethics violations. The ethics committee won't reveal the specific charges until next Thursday at a public meeting.
