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?”
Charlie Manson probably wanted to rule the entire world, it wouldn’t be discussed on the news every night seriously though, as a viable option, because Charlie had a swastika carved into his forehead.
This conversation speaks to the fact that trump also has a swastika carved into his head, it’s just filled in with hair plugs and covered with expensive, orange, special-ordered Swedish makeup. CNN chooses not to see or acknowledge the swastika. They know it’s there though.
Huh, I didn’t realize that I’m a fan of Charlemagne tha God
Same. I don’t even listen to podcasts, but it looks like I’m about to start
CNN feigns ignorance of the Overton window. They give a platform to viewpoints that are specifically designed to stir controversy, and in the process, they move the window to the right, bit by bit, all in the service of the almighty dollar.
This is why we can’t have nice things.
They got bought out by fox news lackey types because they wanted a thinner wedge for their nazi bullshit. They haven’t been legitimate for a couple years now.
Good
Anderson Cooper is the poster boy for American shit journalism.
He’s also a shit friend who dropped Kathy Griffin like a hot rock the moment any controversy drifted her way.
And for old money protecting it’s own class interests.
Yeah but he’s sexy.
You’re not wrong so i’ll bring you back up to 0
Zero what?
Back to 0 “Lemmy equivalent of Karma” score.
But now he’s in the negatives again.
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?
;)
Cooper can suck on a turd. Cause all he does is spew shit
Come on and SLAM
If you wanna JAM
Just read the whole exchange… Goddamn he’s spot on
slams
I hate this guy’s stupid name. Y’all ain’t no God.
Because that’s the point…
As someone who just hasn’t heard of him before his interview with Kamala, could you tell me the point? Genuinely curious.
Because he brought up some very poignant talking points and this person mentions his name and decides to hone in on that rather than the substance of what is being said.
Oh, I misread your comment to say that he named himself that because he’s not a god, like there was some back story or something!
Absolutely agree that what he said is more important than the stage name used when saying it
But what does Ja Rule think about this?

Anderson, being gay, should be especially vocal.
First they came for the “illegals”
Etc.
He is on whatever list of lists they have.
He may not be first in line, but he will be.
Fascism wants only a certain kind.
Anderson is not that kind.
He’s rich and can just leave though. The rest of us are the ones who’ll have to deal with this shit.
He’s a fucking Vanderbilt, he’ll be fine
And you are one of the most trusted voices on television,
He should have followed it up with “He’s already threatened to have broadcast licenses pulled from a news network that did nothing more than fact check him. What do you think he’d do to you and yours if you don’t report positively 24 hours a day?”
.
None of that matters because they made more money last time he was in office.
This is exactly the way Trump needs to be covered and while I don’t listen to Poscasts, it really makes me want to start.
Start with Cleanup on Aisle 45 instead of the Breakfast Club.
it’s fucking absurd where we are 12 days from the election. the fix is in, and those who claim to love this country, clearly hate it. I don’t care what happens in the election, this nation is cooked.
