Charlamagne Says Dems’ Actions Have Him Rethinking His Belief That Trump Is ‘Fascist’

Radio host Charlamagne Tha God said during a Friday podcast that he may be reconsidering his belief that President-elect Donald Trump is a “fascist” due to how Democrats have behaved since the November election.

Charlamagne had previously questioned whether Democrats truly believed Trump was a “fascist” after President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris optimistically addressed the election outcome without labeling the president-elect as an authoritarian, despite making it a prominentissue in their 2024 campaigns. On his podcast “The Brilliant Idiots,” Charlamagne said that while he has in the past believed Trump to be a “fascist” because of his rhetoric, Democrats’ actions post-election have made him question if that belief still holds.

“I never called Donald Trump a fascist based off anything I heard from Democrats. I said that because of things I heard come out of Donald Trump’s mouth, right? But guess what? I don’t even know if I believe it anymore,” he said. “But only because of how they’re acting. I’m like, well goddamn, maybe it ain’t that much of a threat.”
