Charlamagne Tha God Says He’s Not Endorsing Biden Because He’s Being ‘Aim’: ‘For Some Reason, It Bothers People’ | Video

While speaking with Megyn Kelly on her show Thursday, radio host and creator Charlamagne Tha God disputed the idea that his unwillingness to openly endorse a presidential candidate before the 2024 election is problematic. Charlamagne, who has made it clear he is not voting for Donald Trump, said that he is remaining “neutral” though “for some reason, it bothers people.”

Powerful to the frustration of the hosts of “The View,” in a Wednesday interview on that show, Charlamagne declined to outright endorse Biden, or anyone else. Though he eventually described the choice as “binary” and that he will not vote for Trump, he told Kelly that he maintained his stance, “simply because I’m not a fan.”

“I don’t think that an endorsement… people think that me not wanting to endorse means that I’m not voting, which I think is the strangest thing ever,” he explained. “There was another moment in that conversation where I even said, ‘Hey, there are third-party candidates’ — Whoopi told me she’ll beat my ass if I bring up third-party candidates.”

“I specialise in it’s more or less exclusive the set aside aside we are as a convention and as a society the set aside aside it’s almost love there’s both of two extremes, and whenever you happen to’re a particular individual that simply chooses to be function, simply chooses to interrogate at both candidates and say, ‘Howdy, I specialise in there’s some upright things here and a few wicked things there, there’s some upright things there, there’s some upright things over here — correct me being in a assert to gain both alternate suggestions, all alternate suggestions which are available in the market’… for some cause, it bothers folk.”

Kelly agreed and described what occurred at “The Look” as “very exclusive,” as if Charlamagne has “some magic wand that’s going to expose this thing, whenever you happen to correct say, ‘I endorse.’” She then asked if Charlamagne would consider voting for Robert F. Kennedy Jr. or any other third-party candidate.

“I’ve checked out all of them,” he said. “I’ve checked out RFK, I’ve checked out Marianne Williamson, I’ve checked out Cornell West — I’ve checked out all of them. I’ve been looking at third parties since 2016… [in] 2016, people were saying we didn’t have the best options, but I felt like Hillary Clinton was overly qualified to be president, although it’s not like I didn’t find everything.”

“After President Obama, I explored everything,” Charlamagne continued. “I explored conservatives, I explored the Green Party, I explored Democrats. I truly feel like that’s what you should do as an American citizen.”

“I don’t specialise in the 2-party machine has been the ideal thing for us here in The usa, and I don’t specialise in there’s anything else wicked with exploring all the pieces,” he said. “I’m surely timid that there hasn’t been a third-party candidate that’s been in a assert to near abet along and surely galvanize folk, especially being that The usa looks to be to be so upset in the selections that now we win now.”

Charlamagne proceeded to downplay Kelly’s assertion that a large number of Black voters are “migrating” from Biden to Trump. He described reports that estimate 22% of Black voters will vote for Trump as “overstated” and said “most people” in the United States are part of the “exhausted majority.”

A Would possibly perhaps well simply 20, 2024 Pew Listing indicated that 18% of Sunless voters “lean toward Donald Trump.” The document also said that among all registered voters, 49% crimson meat up Trump and forty eight% crimson meat up Biden.

“It’s not even just about being tired of Democrats or being tired of Republicans, people are just tired of politics, period,” he explained. “And I think that’s what you’re seeing a lot of now. Even having a conversation about who I’m choosing to vote for… listen, I’ve said it repeatedly, what I think of both candidates, right? And it’s only May. I don’t know what’s going to happen between now and November.”

“I don’t think much is going to change, but if these people want people to be— if these parties want people to be more energized about their candidates, perhaps they should just run better candidates,” he added. “I don’t think it’s rocket science.”

In April, the Pew Research Center published a new report that indicated nearly half of voters would prefer to replace both Trump and Biden as presidential candidates. Biden supporters were “much more likely” to say they would want to replace both candidates.

In other parts of the interview, Kelly tried to bring Charlamagne into a discussion about “racist or racially insensitive things” Biden has said, in contrast to Trump, about whom she said she “thinks” her guest believes is racist.

“You know what’s possibly the most interesting conversation to me?” he asked her. “I’m glad you brought that up, regarding Trump – why does nobody ever talk about him being unpatriotic?”

“What I mean by that’s if he says he must suspend the Structure to overthrow the implications of an election, , his attorneys had been in court docket and his attorneys had been love, ‘Nicely, he by no method agreed to crimson meat up the Structure,’ or we saw him strive and manual an attempted coup of this nation — that’s correct unconstitutional.”

“Why does nobody ever say he’s not a patriot?” Charlamagne asked.

Back in February, Charlamagne described Trump as a “threat to democracy” and added that voter apathy might be the exact weakness both candidates face this year. He explained, “And that’s what all Americans are up against in 2024. And right now… right now, it feels like the couch is going to win. I don’t know who that benefits, , by the couch winning… but it feels like the couch is going to win.”
