Charlamagne tha God Blasts Trump on Fox News: ‘He Is a Threat to Democracy’
Charlamagne tha God ripped former President Donald Trump while appearing on Tuesday’s edition of Gutfeld! on Fox News.
The co-host of The Breakfast Club embraced his diagnosis of “Trump Derangement Syndrome” during a discussion about the former president’s criminal trial in New York, where earlier in the day, Robert De Niro spoke on behalf of President Joe Biden’s reelection campaign.
“Let the record show, I totally agree with Robert De Niro,” Charlamagne said. “I am one of the people who suffer from Trump Derangement Syndrome. I think he is a threat to democracy. I think that he led an attempted coup of this country. You know, he said he wanted to suspend the Constitution to overthrow the results of an election. At the least, that’s just not a patriotic thing to say.”
Host Greg Gutfeld responded by saying he did not believe Charlamagne’s claim about Trump wanting to suspend the Constitution, which the former president called for in 2022, advocating “the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution.”
“I don’t believe that,” Gutfeld said.
“He absolutely said that on Truth Social,” Charlamagne noted.
“I will look that up,” the host replied. “He wanted to suspend the Constitution?”
“He said we should suspend the Constitution to overthrow the results of the election,” Charlamagne said as Gutfeld looked on incredulously.
“He said it on Truth Social, then said he didn’t say it,” Charlamagne continued, before saying he is not sure if Trump will leave office if he is elected again.
The former president has been indicted in Georgia and in federal court in Washington, D.C. over his attempts to overturn the 2020 election, which he lost. In the weeks after that contest, Trump tried to pressure Republican officials in states he lost to subvert the results. When those efforts failed, he urged Vice President Mike Pence – the presiding officer over the election’s certification in Congress – to void the outcome. Pence declined and as a result, a mob of Trump supporters stormed the Capitol in a deadly riot that delayed certification for several hours. Trump reportedly watched the chaos unfold on television while ignoring lawmakers’ pleas for help.
