Charlamagne Tha God has urged former Presidents Joe Biden and Barack Obama to take cues from Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) in their approach to dealing with former President Donald Trump.
During a recent broadcast, Charlamagne, serving as a guest host, contended that Ocasio-Cortez has consistently maintained her opposition to Trump, a stance he believes Biden and Obama have not upheld.
As reported by Mediaite, Charlamagne questioned the actions of Democratic leaders who previously likened Trump to Adolf Hitler, yet later appeared to engage with him amicably. "What about the Democratic politicians who spent four years calling Trump the new Adolf Hitler and then started doing stuff like this?" he remarked, referencing footage of Biden welcoming Trump to the White House and Obama sharing a light moment with him at the late President Jimmy Carters funeral.
Charlamagne has previously criticized Obama for a viral video showing him and Trump in a seemingly friendly exchange at the funeral. "Im sorry. If you tell us someone is Hitler, you at least have to act like hes Hitler," he commented, humorously imagining Michelle Obama's reaction to the encounter. He expressed a desire for more assertive opposition, exemplified by Ocasio-Cortez's refusal to attend Trump's inauguration, citing her disapproval of "rapists."
In a clip shared by Charlamagne, Ocasio-Cortez stated, "Let me make myself clear. I dont celebrate rapists. So, no, Im not going to the inauguration tomorrow." Charlamagne praised her stance, saying, "That right there? Thats backbone. Thats principles, man. And well miss AOC when shes deported to Nicaragua."
Charlamagne's remarks highlight a broader conversation within the Democratic Party about the consistency and authenticity of its leaders' opposition to Trump, raising questions about the alignment of their rhetoric with their actions.
