Radio host Charlemagne Tha God criticized President Biden for welcoming President-elect Trump to the White House for a transition meeting on Wednesday.
“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?” Charlamagne said on a Thursday episode of “The Breakfast Club.”
“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.”
He made similar remarks last Friday, questioning why the president hadn’t declared Trump a threat in the wake of a devastating election for Democrats. Charlamagne previously interviewed Vice President Harris, where she earned the host’s support.
“Don’t y’all find it strange that now that he’s won, they’re not calling him a threat to democracy? They’re not calling him a fascist,” Charlamagne stated.
“I would think that, you know, if you really believe that, then somebody’s speech would be about how America effed up and how things are about to be really bad. It just makes you wonder how much of it did they really believe, or how much of it was just politics. That’s all.”
In the weeks leading up to the election, former White House officials, including Biden, labeled Trump a “fascist” and critiqued many of the Republican surrogates’ comments.
