‘Lock Him Up’: Charlamagne Says Biden Should Use Immunity ‘Powers’ To Jail Trump And ‘Protect’ Democracy

Radio host Charlamagne Tha God called for President Joe Biden to use the Supreme Court’s recent immunity ruling to jail former President Trump and safeguard democracy in a podcast episode posted to YouTube Friday.

The Supreme Court found in a July ruling that presidents possess immunity from criminal prosecution for “official acts” they take while in office. Charlamagne on the “Brilliant Idiots” podcast said the president should use the ruling to lock Trump up because he is a threat to democracy and the former president will detain Biden and his family if reelected.

“Biden’s in office, so all of these kingly powers that you’re talking about the president having, Biden has now,” Charlamagne said. “And he could use some of those kingly powers to protect democracy, but he won’t.”

Co-host Chris Morrow chimed in to suggest this would be an abuse of power.

“So democracy is really not at stake then. If democracy is really at stake and Trump is the existential threat that they say he is, you should do everything in your power to protect it,” Charlamagne retorted.

“While also protecting the Constitution and democracy. You can’t sacrifice democracy to save democracy,” Morrow said.

Charlamagne asked “why” before suggesting Republicans would abuse the immunity ruling.

“Listen, if somebody got a bazooka on your block, you don’t show up with a nine, Chris. You got to go get you a bazooka,” he added.
