Charlamagne tha God: White House ‘handcuffed’ Harris

Radio host Charlamagne tha God thinks the Biden administration has “handcuffed” Vice President Harris.

Charlamagne, who recently called former President Trump a “threat to democracy,” joined Brian Kilmeade for an interview on “Fox & Friends,” where they began a conversation about Harris’ role in the administration and the media.

“The Breakfast Club” host said he thinks Harris should appear on Fox News so people can’t misinterpret her words, but he also believes she was stonewalled.

“I’ve said it a million times. Vice President Kamala Harris should appear on Fox. Like, they’re afraid of Fox, right? My goal is to go to Fox, talk to Fox personalities and talk to the Fox audience,” he said in comments highlighted by Mediaite. “It’s very difficult to misinterpret what someone is saying when you’re actually watching them say it.”

Kilmeade asked Charlamagne about knowing Harris before she was Biden’s running mate. Kilmeade said the radio host had “high hopes” for Harris and was “one of the reasons you supported the Biden-Harris ticket” in 2020.

“She was the reason,” Charlamagne confirmed.

“And what happened?” Kilmeade questioned.

“I think she is very handcuffed by this administration,” Charlamagne said.

“Why do you think that? Why do you think she’s in handcuffs?” the Fox host asked.

“Because I know her and I know what she stands for. And I know the things that she wants to do that she might not necessarily be in a position to do because she doesn’t want to overtake the president,” Charlamagne responded.

Kilmeade asked if he thought Harris would make a good president.

“She would be no different than any other Democrat. That’s why when I hear people say things like ‘We should be afraid of a Kamala Harris presidency, we should be afraid of a Kamala Harris presidency.’ Why?” Charlamange said.

“You know why,” he continued. “Because she is a black woman.”

Charlamange argued that the Republican Party did not do enough to boost former Republican primary candidate Nikki Haley, and that the former South Carolina governor did not attack former President Trump hard enough to secure the nomination.

People on both sides want a new option so much that it may have won votes from both Democrats and Republicans looking for something new, he argued.
