Charlamagne Tha God Torches ‘The View’ Hosts To Their Faces For Dishonest Coverage Of Trump Picks

 Popular radio personality Charlamagne Tha God flamed the hosts of ABC’s “The View” — while sitting at their table — for dishonest coverage of President-elect Donald Trump’s staffing choices and cabinet nominees.

The conversation between the show’s cohosts and Charlamagne began with the week’s hottest topic — namely, President Joe Biden’s decision to pardon his embattled son Hunter despite claiming repeatedly that he would never do so.

Whoopi Goldberg trotted out her previous claim that Biden had not actually lied about whether or not he planned to pardon Hunter — even though NBC’s initial report on the pardon suggested that Biden had made the decision shortly after Hunter’s conviction and his administration had made a conscious decision to tell the public otherwise.

“You don’t know that it was a lie,” she said.

“You really think he changed his mind over Thanksgiving weekend all of a sudden?” Charlamagne replied.

“At some point, you get to the place where you just go, so I’m just going to follow the straight and narrow always, because that’s what’s expected of Democrats?” Goldberg complained.

 

Goldberg then tried to suggest that there was a double standard in play and that Trump never got the kind of scrutiny Biden did.

Charlamagne challenged Goldberg directly, noting that she appeared to have a hard time admitting it when Democrats were in the wrong. Goldberg objected, claiming that she did just that all the time on the show.

Sunny Hostin pivoted back to the question of whether or not Biden had lied about pardoning Hunter. Unsurprisingly, she argued that he had not lied at all, but had simply made a “pragmatic” decision — one that directly contradicted all of his previous statements on the subject.

Cohost Sara Haines asked whether Charlamagne believed that media would ever cover Trump honestly, and he replied, “The didn’t do it before, why would they do it now?”

The cohosts all began talking at once, claiming that their show, at least, had covered Trump honestly.

Charlamagne referenced the excessive number of legal notes Hostin had been prompted to read after their discussions about Trump’s appointees, and argued that was an indication that the show was not covering Trump honestly.

“I saw you had to apologize a couple times last week. So somebody is coming with some notes from downstairs,” he said.

“I’m not apologizing, I’m making a legal note as an attorney at law,” Hostin rebuffed him.
