Charlamagne Tha God, host of Premiere Networks syndicated “The Breakfast Club,” does not shy away from taking a political stand.
Charlamagne hosted Vice President and Democratic Presidential nominee Kamala Harris on his show and also held a Detroit town hall with Harris.
Now, Charlamagne has some strong words for President Joe Biden for ignoring his warnings about President-elect Donald Trump during their recent transition meeting at the White House.
“I just don’t understand the White House visit. Now granted, you know, I’m glad it’s a peaceful transition of power, but what happened to the threat of democracy talk? What happened to the fascist talk?” said Charlamagne.
Continuing, “By the way, I know I’ve said those things about Trump, as well, but I’m not talking about me. I’m talking about his political opponents, like President Biden. When they say it, it holds way more weight than me.”
President Biden encountered backlash for his cordial reception of President-elect Trump on Wednesday. During this reception, he extended his congratulations, expressed hope for a “smooth transition,” and engaged in a handshake with Trump in the Oval Office, where they stood in front of the fireplace.
In the lead-up to Election Day, President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris and several former officials from the Trump administration expressed concerns that the president-elect represents a potential threat to democracy, raising alarms about his authoritarian inclinations.
“I understand President Biden believes in political norms, but damn,” Charlamagne said.
