Charlemagne Tha God feels ‘burned’ by Biden endorsement, says Kamala Harris ‘disappeared’

Radio host Charlamagne Tha God said he regretted endorsing Biden’s candidacy in 2020, Politico reported Tuesday, and said he felt like Vice President Kamala Harris “disappeared” when they arrived at the White House.

Charlamagne, the host of “The Breakfast Club,” also told the outlet that he had no plans to endorse President Biden and Harris in 2024, as he felt “burned” by his 2020 endorsement.

“I learned my lesson by doing that,” he told Politico. “Once they got to the White House, she… she kind of disappeared.”

“When I give people my word like, ‘Man, I think we should support Kamala Harris for vice president… because she’s going to hold it down.’ When we say those things and people don’t see that she’s holding them down, that causes problems,” Charlamagne continued.

He also said he’s still getting backlash for his 2020 endorsement.

“’Damn, you told us to vote for [them].’ Do you know how many people say that to me all the time? he said.

The radio host endorsed the ticket in 2020 because Biden chose Harris as his running mate. “I’m voting for Kamala Harris, I’ll tell you that in a heartbeat. “I’m not necessarily going to vote for Joe Biden, I’m going to vote for Senator Kamala Harris,” he said at the time.

“I believe she is an agent of political change, exactly the leader this country needs to lead us into the future. If not, I’ll just be wrong,” Charlamagne said in October 2020. “I’m so tired of the old white male leadership in politics.”

Harris joined Charlamagne for an interview in December 2021 that quickly became heated after the host asked who the “real” president is.

“I want to know who the real president of this country is: is it Joe Biden or Joe Manchin?” Charlamagne asked on his Comedy Central show, “Tha God’s Honest Truth,” as he and Harris discussed Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin’s opposition to spending legislation being debated on Capitol Hill.

The interview went off the rails when one of Harris’ assistants tried to intervene and end it, but Harris answered the question.

“Come on, Charlamagne,” he said. “No, no, no, no, it’s Joe Biden,” she repeated while he tried to give the reasons for the question.

“And don’t start talking like a Republican, asking if he’s president or not… And it’s Joe Biden, it’s Joe Biden, and I’m vice president and my name is Kamala Harris,” she added.

The radio host also said he didn’t expect Harris or Biden to join his show for any interviews in 2024. He infamously interviewed the president in 2020, which ended with Biden telling listeners “you’re not black” if they had problems to decide. between him and Trump.
