[quote] Some fellow politicians came to Mr. Rangel’s defense. “Well, he lives in New York City and he lives in his Congressional district, and that’s what’s important,” said Assemblyman Adriano Espaillat, a Democrat who represents Washington Heights, which is in Mr. Rangel’s district.

“Why should everybody be concerned about his personal living situation?” Mr. Espaillat continued. “The fact of the matter is that he’s been a trailblazer for people in this community and he works hard for Harlem. I think he’s a great New Yorker. Anyone who has an issue with that should take a shower.” [quote/]
