Charlamagne Lashes Out at MSNBC for Accusing Him of Pushing ‘MAGA Messaging’ in Tense Exchange With Nicolle Wallace

Charlamagne tha God slammed MSNBC for abusing him of pushing “MAGA messaging” during a conversation on anchor Nicolle Wallace’s podcast.

Charlamagne, a popular morning radio show host, appeared on Monday’s episode of The Best People with Nicolle Wallace. In the first few minutes of their conversation, Wallace revealed that she considered Charlamagne’s interview with former Vice President Kamala Harris to be the best one that Harris did on the campaign trail. Her reasoning was that Charlamagne gave the the VP a hard interview and that, in her opinion, candidates look the best when faced with tough questions.

From there, the conversation shifted to lawmakers and their supposed unwillingness to move out of their “bubble” when it comes to media appearances. Wallace then suggested that Democrats would “challenge” Charlamagne with the fact that Republicans stayed well with their bubble and “fell in line” to support President Donald Trump. In response, Charlamagne cited MSNBC’s previous characterization of his words:

I agree with you, but here;s the thing. Clearly, the American people didn’t care about any of that because the American people were just focused on, you know, the ideas that he was spewing. And it wasn’t even just ideas. It was just, you know, stating the obvious and pointing out a lot of things that Democrats may have been ignoring, like the border, like the economy. He said it himself, man. “We won on one word: groceries.” You can’t tout things like “Bidenomics” when people aren’t feeling that in their pockets. You can’t just ignore people’s criticisms of the border and chalk it up with the MAGA messaging.

I’ll never forget when MSNBC did that to me. And MSNBC did that to me based off me listening to people, me listening to people in New York City, listening to people in Chicago, activists in Chicago, and then them telling me what their issues with the border were. And their issues weren’t based on any type of prejudice for who was coming across the border. It was literally economics. It was, “Hey, these people are coming across the border and getting more resources than we are.” Like, we’ve been sitting here in these poor and disenfranchised neighborhoods for years and we have problems with housing, but they’re getting housing. We barely can make ends meet, but they’re getting, you know, stipends to be able to go out there and get food and things like that. How do you not listen to those people when they’re having those conversations?

And I remember me repeating exactly what I just said, based off the conversations I was having with people actually in the street, in these areas, and MSNBC said I was repeating “MAGA messaging.” I was like, damn, that means that y’all are not paying attention to your constituents.

Watch above.
