Pelosi makes racist attack on Rangel?

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi Monday night called embattled Harlem Rep. Charlie Rangel to her office for a personal confrontation and asked him to step aside from his powerful tax-writing post due to the exploding scandal over his murky personal finances.

Rangel, the chairman of the House Ways & Means Committee, had been resisting growing calls for him to step down from his leadership position in the wake of revelations by The Post that he owes thousands of dollars in unpaid taxes on his Dominican Republic vacation home and has major discrepancies on his personal financial-disclosure statements.

Rangel declined comment but was huddling with Pelosi and fellow committee members last night to discuss his options.

I would guess if there is bad blood between Pelosi and Rangel it is because Rangel was a Clinton supporter in the primary.
