Charlamagne Accuses CNN of Helping with ‘The Normalization of Donald Trump’s Fascism’: ‘They Still Don’t Know How to Cover That Demon’
Charlamagne tha God tore into CNN and accused the network of assisting with “the normalization of Donald Trump’s fascism” on his radio show The Breakfast Club this week.
“I was watching CNN yesterday, and I’m not gonna say the anchor’s name, but they were talking about the MAGA rally at the Garden, and they were talking about it like it was just normal,” said Charlamagne on his show, Tuesday. “You know, it’s a weird thing they do on these networks. I’m telling you, we’re almost 10 years in of the Trump era and they still don’t know how to cover that demon, okay? Or the blatant white supremacy that comes from anyone associated with him.”
He continued:
It’s strange. So in between talking about the MAGA rally like it was virtually normal, the host was still asking one of the pundits on the panel if Vice President Kamala Harris should do Joe Rogan. It was very strange! But that’s what a lot of these cable news networks do and I see it a lot more on CNN. They have a problem making the main thing the main thing. They always center the wrong conversation, and by doing that, they have assisted in the normalization of Donald Trump’s fascism.
The radio host then referenced the incident which led to Republican CNN guest Ryan Girdusky being banned from the network on Monday.
“The other thing that happens on CNN a lot is what happened last night,” he said. “They will have a conservative who’s not there to have a good faith discussion and whatever it is the panel is discussing, the conservative will just say something wild and derail the whole conversation so that everybody forgets what they were even discussing to begin with!”
Girdusky was kicked off of a CNN NewsNight panel and banned from the network after he told fellow guest Mehdi Hasan, “I hope your beeper doesn’t go off,” in reference to the deadly pager bombs Israel detonated in Lebanon last month.
