The podcaster and radio host also excoriated what he saw as the media’s double standards and failure to convey the true danger of Trump’s rhetoric.
In a clip that has gone viral on social media, Charlamagne, a popular podcaster and co-host of the nationally syndicated radio show The Breakfast Club, is asked by host Anderson Cooper about Trump’s plan to appear on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast and whether Harris planned to do the same.
“I think that she should keep calling Donald Trump a fascist,” Charlamagne replied tersely.
He continued, “And I think that Americans need to keep looking at the rhetoric of Donald Trump because I don’t know why we’re even thinking about electing somebody who’s talking about putting people in camps. I don’t know why we’re talking, why we want to elect somebody who’s talking about mass deportation. I don’t know why we’re having this conversation about somebody who wants to terminate the constitution to overthrow the results of an election. Aren’t we supposed to be a patriotic country? Whenever somebody like Colin Kaepernick takes a knee in this country, everybody talks about, ‘Oh, that’s so unpatriotic.’ But a guy can say he wants to terminate the constitution to overthrow the results of an election and nobody cares?”
Addressing Cooper, Charlamagne said, “Now, you brought it back to Kamala and Joe Rogan, Anderson, who gives a damn?”
Ahh. Well, I don’t actually have voting visible so… I don’t really care what it is…… since I can’t see it! You should try it. It’s liberating.
I like it. It’s a good reminder that i’ve been scrolling too long when i start seeing posts that are in the negative.
Here, I’ll give you an upvote. I can’t see what it did… but the feature is there. Did it increase? Did it do nothing? I won’t ever know. But, you’ll know that something happened, and what’s more entertaining than watching a number increase?
