Char­la­m­agne Tha God Torch­es ‘The View’ Hosts To Their Faces For Dis­hon­est Cov­er­age Of Trump Picks

Posted in Election 2024  •  Published by

Pop­u­lar radio per­son­al­i­ty Char­la­m­agne Tha God flamed the hosts of ABC’s “The View” — while sit­ting at their table — for dis­hon­est cov­er­age of Pres­i­dent-elect Don­ald Trump’s staffing choic­es and cab­i­net nom­i­nees.

The con­ver­sa­tion between the show’s cohosts and Char­la­m­agne began with the week’s hottest top­ic — name­ly, Pres­i­dent Joe Biden’s deci­sion to par­don his embat­tled son Hunter despite claim­ing repeat­ed­ly that he would nev­er do so.

Whoopi Gold­berg trot­ted out her pre­vi­ous claim that Biden had not actu­al­ly lied about whether or not he planned to par­don Hunter — even though NBC’s ini­tial report on the par­don sug­gest­ed that Biden had made the deci­sion short­ly after Hunter’s con­vic­tion and his admin­is­tra­tion had made a con­scious deci­sion to tell the pub­lic oth­er­wise.

“You don’t know that it was a lie,” she said.

“You real­ly think he changed his mind over Thanks­giv­ing week­end all of a sud­den?” Char­la­m­agne replied.

“At some point, you get to the place where you just go, so I’m just going to fol­low the straight and nar­row always, because that’s what’s expect­ed of Democ­rats?” Gold­berg com­plained.

Gold­berg then tried to sug­gest that there was a dou­ble stan­dard in play and that Trump nev­er got the kind of scruti­ny Biden did.

WATCH:

Char­la­m­agne chal­lenged Gold­berg direct­ly, not­ing that she appeared to have a hard time admit­ting it when Democ­rats were in the wrong. Gold­berg object­ed, claim­ing that she did just that all the time on the show.

Sun­ny Hostin piv­ot­ed back to the ques­tion of whether or not Biden had lied about par­don­ing Hunter. Unsur­pris­ing­ly, she argued that he had not lied at all, but had sim­ply made a “prag­mat­ic” deci­sion — one that direct­ly con­tra­dict­ed all of his pre­vi­ous state­ments on the sub­ject.

WATCH:

Cohost Sara Haines asked whether Char­la­m­agne believed that media would ever cov­er Trump hon­est­ly, and he replied, “The didn’t do it before, why would they do it now?”

The cohosts all began talk­ing at once, claim­ing that their show, at least, had cov­ered Trump hon­est­ly.

Char­la­m­agne ref­er­enced the exces­sive num­ber of legal notes Hostin had been prompt­ed to read after their dis­cus­sions about Trump’s appointees, and argued that was an indi­ca­tion that the show was not cov­er­ing Trump hon­est­ly.

“I saw you had to apol­o­gize a cou­ple times last week. So some­body is com­ing with some notes from down­stairs,” he said.

“I’m not apol­o­giz­ing, I’m mak­ing a legal note as an attor­ney at law,” Hostin rebuffed him.
