I’m not a fan of Charlamagne tha God, but he’s right when it comes to just how godawful so much of CNN’s political horse race coverage is. Charlamagne made an appearance on Anderson Cooper’s show this Thursday night, and was having none of Cooper’s nonsense on whether his network has properly relayed to the public how much of a threat to Democracy that Trump really is.
COOPER: Apparently Trump’s going on is going to tape a thing with Joe Rogan. Do you think she should do that?
CTG: I think that she should keep calling Donald Trump a fascist. 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.
Even me bringing it up now, you brought it back to Kamala and Joe Rogan. Anderson, who gives a damn?
