HuffPost TV: Roy Sekoff On ‘Ed Show’: Why Rangel Should Resign (VIDEO)

HuffPost editor Roy Sekoff joined Ed Schultz Wednesday night in calling for embattled Rep. Charlie Rangel (D-N.Y.) to resign in the wake of ethics charges brought against the powerful Democratic congressman.

"Sorry, Charlie, you've got to take one for the team and step aside," Schultz said bluntly. "It's over."

Sekoff said Rangel's fellow Democrats have little choice but to punish Rangel appropriately, given their record mere months away from the fall midterms.

"Heading into 2010, the Democrats need a full-blown ethics trial like Mel Gibson needs another tape released," he said. "This is an area where they have to be unequivocal and say there can't be two sets of rules ... there's no wiggle room on this."
