“Breakfast Club” host Charlamagne Tha God on Thursday knocked President Joe Biden for abandoning his warnings about President-elect Donald Trump during a transition meeting at the White House. “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?” said the radio host.
He continued, “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.
” Biden has faced criticism over his welcoming approach to Trump on Wednesday as he offered his congratulations, anticipated a “smooth transition” and shook hands with the president-elect in front of a fireplace in the Oval Office. Trump, who attempted a coup in the final days of his first term, did not invite Biden to the White House four years ago in a move that disrupted a tradition held by sitting presidents about to leave office. Both Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris , much like those who have served under Trump, warned that the president-elect posed a threat to democracy and sounded the alarm on his fascist tendencies prior to Election Day.
Biden, in a message to supporters after Harris’ election loss last week, declared that “we’re going to be OK” and stressed his commitment to a “ peaceful and orderly transition ” of power. On Thursday, Charlamagne said he was trying to figure out how Biden could go from warning that Trump is an “existential threat to democracy” to “welcome back.” “I understand President Biden believes in political norms but damn,” Charlamagne said.
