Charlamagne Tells Kilmeade White House Has ‘Handcuffed’ Kamala Harris – And She Should Go on Fox News
Charlamagne tha God has been making the rounds on his book tour, granting several sit-downs to Fox News. After appearing on Gutfeld! on Tuesday, the podcast host had a one-on-one with Fox & Friends co-host Brian Kilmeade, where he was characteristically outspoken about both presidential candidates.
The conversation kicked off with Charlamagne’s view that the 2024 election would be a choice of crooks (Republicans), cowards (Democrats), or the couch (neither), with Kilmeade asking why he considered the Republicans to be the “crooks.”
Charlamagne pointed to former President Donald Trump’s 88 criminal indictments but admitted that the hush money case “looks weird” as the first of Trump’s cases to go to trial. He also downplayed Trump’s polling among Black and Hispanic voters, saying, “I think a lot of those polls might be slightly overstated.”
Then, the conversation turned to President Joe Biden and his commencement speech at HBCU Morehouse College. Charlamagne said of Biden’s speech: “If I was President Joe Biden and I was getting the backlash that I was getting from Morehouse students, I would have talked with them, not to them. I want to have a conversation with them, and I want to see what they’re really frustrated about. I think that would go way farther than what he did.”
But when the talk turned to Vice President Kamala Harris, who is a regular focus of criticism at Fox News, Charlamagne suggested that not only was she being held back by the Biden administration, but she should also appear on Fox News so people can’t “misconstrue” her words:
Charlamagne: I’ve said it a million times. Vice President Kamala Harris should be coming on Fox. Like, they’re afraid of Fox, right? My whole thing is go to Fox, have conversations with the personalities on Fox and talk to the Fox audience. Very hard to misconstrue what somebody is saying when you’re actually watching them say it.
Kilmeade: Because you knew Kamala Harris when? Before she was vice president and you had great hope for her. And that was one of the reasons you supported the Biden-Harris ticket last time.
Charlamagne: She was the reason.
Kilmeade: She was the reason.
Charlamagne: Yeah.
Kilmeade: And what happened?
Charlamagne: I think that, you know, she’s handcuffed a lot by this administration. And it’s interesting because–
Kilmeade: Why do you think that? Why do you think she’s handcuffed?
Charlamagne: Because I know her, and I know what she stands for. And I know the things that she wants to do that she may not necessarily be in a position to do because she doesn’t want to overstep the president.
Kilmeade: Do you think she would be a good president?
Charlamagne: She wouldn’t be any different than any other Democrat. Like what, what policies, what issues would she be so different on that President [Barack Obama] was or President Biden… She wouldn’t be any different than any other Democrat. That’s why when I hear people say things like, “We should be terrified of a Kamala Harris presidency, we should be scared of a Kamala Harris presidency!” Why?
Kilmeade: Right.
Charlamagne: You know why. Because she’s a woman of color.
Kilmeade: Oh, I don’t think so.
Charlamagne: Oh, 100 percent.
