Charlamagne Tha God is not planning on endorsing President Joe Biden as he did in 2020, saying in a new interview he was “burned” with his support before.
“I just feel like I’ve been burned with that before,” the host of The Breakfast Club told The New York Times in an interview.
The radio host said he knows who he wants to vote for in November but added it would be a “great disservice” not to call out both major political parties. He called Republicans “crooks” and referred to Democrats as “cowards.”
“This election is three options: Republicans who are the crooks, Democrats who are the cowards because they don’t fight enough for nothing, and the couch,” he said. “And the couch is voter apathy.”
Charlamagne called the state of politics “insane right now” and pushed responsibility on the media.
“I blame the media so much for what’s happening,” he said, adding people are “tired of politics.”
The radio host insisted though that the upcoming election will be the “most consequential election” of his lifetime, which is why he’s insisting on staying “objective” and calling out both parties.
“I tell people all the time, ‘If you lie to them about Democrats, they won’t believe you when you tell them the truth about Republicans,'” he said. “So why would I sit there and lie to people about the flaws I see in the Democratic Party?”
Charlamagne argued that many voters don’t believe this upcoming presidential election is as consequential as it is because Democrats have too often condemned GOP candidates before as threats to democracy, a point he recently made elsewhere about the party.
“It’s hard to get people to believe that because we say that about every presidential election because every Republican candidate has been demonized,” he said.
