Charlamagne Tha God regrets backing Kamala Harris for VP, says she 'disappeared' in Biden administration​

Story by Hanna Panreck • 19h



radio host Charlamagne Tha God said he regretted backing the Biden ticket in 2020, Politico reported on Tuesday, and said he felt like Vice President Kamala Harris "disappeared" when they got to the White House.

Charlamagne, the host of "The Breakfast Club," also told the outlet that he had no plans to endorse President Biden and Harris in 2024, as he felt "burned" over his 2020 endorsement.

"I’ve learned my lesson from doing that," he told Politico. "Once they got in the White House, she … kind of disappeared."

"When I give people my word like: ‘Yo man, I think we should be supporting Kamala Harris for vice president … because she’s going to hold it down.’ When we say those things and people don’t see her holding it down, that causes issues," Charlamagne continued.

He also said he still receives backlash over his 2020 endorsement.

"‘Damn, you told us to vote for [them].’ Do you know how many people say that to me all the time?" he said.

The radio host endorsed the ticket in 2020 because Biden chose Harris as his running mate. "I’m voting for Kamala Harris, I’ll tell you that in a heartbeat. I’m not necessarily voting for Joe Biden, I’m voting for Senator Kamala Harris," he said at the time.

"I believe she’s a political change agent, exactly the leader this country needs to lead us in the future. If she’s not, I’ll just be wrong," Charlamagne said in October 2020. "I’m just so tired of old White male leadership in politics."

Charlamagne was joined by Harris for an interview in December 2021 that quickly got heated after the host asked who the "real" president is.

"I want to know who the real president of this country is — is it Joe Biden, or Joe Manchin?" Charlamagne asked on his Comedy Central show, "Tha God’s Honest Truth," while he and Harris discussed Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin's opposition to spending legislation being debated on Capitol Hill.

The interview went off the rails as one of Harris' aides tried to step in and end it, but Harris answered the question.

"C’mon, Charlamagne," she said. "No, no, no, no, it’s Joe Biden," she repeated as he tried to give his reasons for the question.

"And don’t start talking like a Republican, about asking whether or not he’s president. … And it’s Joe Biden, it’s Joe Biden, and I'm vice president and my name is Kamala Harris," she added.

The radio host also said he didn't expect Harris or Biden to join his show for any interviews in 2024, as he also infamously interviewed the president in 2020, which ended with Biden telling listeners "you ain't Black" if they were having trouble deciding between him and Trump.

Polls show Latinos back Trump over Biden in 2024. And immigration isn't the reason.​

Opinion by Phil Boas, Arizona Republic • 38m

The story of Latino America is one of rapid growth in population, wealth and political influence.

In 2010, the Latino population was at 50.5 million, according to the Pew Research Center. By 2022 that number had grown to 63.6 million.

I was a reporter at the Los Angeles Daily News in the 1980s when demographers in that city began to understand that birth numbers in the Latino community were about to explode and remake the cultural landscape of greater Los Angeles.

Democratic pollsters have long anticipated that the Latino population bomb would mean huge gains for Democrats and a realignment in our national politics.

But demography alone is not destiny.

Great Recession threw a political curveball​

American politics has undergone a major reshuffling since the Great Recession of 2007 to 2009 wiped out $19 trillion of household wealth and 8.7 million jobs.

That economic downturn led to political populism on left and right, with Occupy Wall Street and the tea party.

The rise of Donald Trump and a leftward turn in the Civil Rights movement in 2013 called Black Lives Matter put us on a collision course with identity politics that erupted again this week with the resignation of Harvard’s first female Black president, Claudine Gay.

America is a vast nation with numerous political and cultural currents and crosscurrents that make it exceedingly difficult to read.

One of those currents is the attitude of Latino voters, as measured recently by two major polls.

Two new surveys of Latino voters show that at the moment they favor Donald Trump for president over Joe Biden.

Polls show Trump's strength with Latinos​

Both the USA TODAY/Suffolk University Poll and the CNBC All-America Economic Survey found that Trump has a 5-point lead with Latino voters.

This was not the direction the wags expected nascent Latino voters to lead the country – toward the champion of disaffected white America, to the man who promised to build a wall and make Mexico pay for it.

Latinos, at the moment, support a politician who began his 2016 presidential run referring to migrants as, “They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.”

“The Latino electorate is moving away from the aggrieved immigrant narrative favored by Democrats and toward an assimilating, working-class identity that mirrors its non-Latino counterparts,” explained Mike Madrid in a December op-ed in the Los Angeles Times.

Madrid is a longtime Republican strategist, former political director for the California Republican Party and co-founder of The Lincoln Project – no friend to Trump. “Biden, who is polling lower among Latinos than any other modern Democratic presidential candidate has at this point, can ill afford to lose any more Latinos,” he wrote.

“... The Latino vote has changed and is continuing to do so. Democrats, for their sake and the country’s, are going to have to fight for a base they have always been able to take for granted.”

Republicans now attract the working class​

One of the reasons for the shift in Latino attitudes may be that Trump’s Republican Party is not your grandfather’s Republican Party.

Trump polls well with Latinos: Univision cozies up to Trump, proving the Latino vote is very much in play in 2024

One of the strange twists in U.S. politics has been the remaking of the GOP from the party of the corporate executive in the 1980s to the party of the Americans who drive nails.

Donald Trump’s Republican Party is decidedly more working class, and that has drawn especially Latino men.

“Latinos tended to favor Democratic presidential candidates over Republican ones, but Latino men surprised pundits by more strongly supporting Donald Trump in 2020 than was expected based on his 2016 showing,” University of Arizona political scientist Lisa M. Sanchez said in a Q&A with UA News.

“Is there a Latino agenda? It is a myth that the top issue for the majority of Latinos is immigration policy. The top issue for Latinos is usually the economy. In fact, research suggests that the Latino agenda looks a lot like the agendas of any other racial or ethnic group in the U.S.

“... To quote the indelicate phrase from the ‘90s: It’s the economy, stupid. In 2024, Latinos are likely to be concerned with issues of massive inflation, stagnant wages and soaring healthcare costs – all economic in nature.”


Focus on the economy to win Latino voters​

If that is the case, Joe Biden may be able to solve his Latino problem with an improving economy.

Another poll by Unidos US, the nation’s largest Latino civil rights organization, shows that by wide margins, Latinos view the Democrats as the party that shares their values.

It also shows that the two issues that most animate Latino voters are inflation and jobs/economy.

With most economic forecasters predicting an U.S. economy on the mend in 2024, Latino attitudes may well shift back to Joe Biden if they feel confident his White House will make groceries more affordable again.

The greater message is that the Latino vote is entering the mainstream of American and ethnic politics.

Meaning, from here on out, it’s very much in play.

I try to ignore the worthless bs, and think for myself....not being one of the millions of sheep of today. I wouldn't be a bit surprised if I'm not already on the fbi's radar.
 
i heard on the tele yesterday that there are still a fair amount of J6 perps that are on the lam still and need to be brought to justice for their crimes against democracy

Yep, the fbi has even recruited these private citizens that are anti-orangeman as insurrection hunters to help them track down the rest of the j 6 perps, and put them in jail. While it was wrong, personally I think its terrible the sentences some got for simple trespass.
 
I'd trust nothing heard from nbc, as their known to edit recordings of conservatives, or others that don't suit their narrative.

i just heard the radio call recordings yesterday, recently released
that should've been made public knowledge at the time... not 3 years later

definitely before 'captain' promotion
 
I'd like to know more about those fbi informants, or agents in the jan 6 crowd, or what they know about those bombs that were set off nearby. Lots of stuff they're not telling us.
Secret service, and fbi know also who stashed hunters cocaine in the white house, but the doj is keeping a lid on it.
 
A lid will be put on all of it. Its an election year. Thier preferred candidate is falling in the polls. So desperate times require desperate measures.

More insanity will ensue as 2024 progresses.
