Charlamagne Tha God may support Vice President Kamala Harris in the upcoming election, but that did not stop him from giving credit where credit is due.
That credit was given by the The Breakfast Club radio show co-host to former President Donald Trump’s message of putting “America First.”
On the other hand, Charlamagne said that Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D), appear “very out of touch” in their messaging, Fox News reported.
“You know, one place where I think they mess up in regards to messaging?” Charlamagne asked. “Like, you know, you’ll listen to a lot of reporters and they’ll be talking to Trump or JD Vance and they’ll be talking to them about things that are happening right here in America, because it is an election season right here in America.”
“So it’s always America first. But then you go to Tim Walz and they’re asking him about geopolitical politics, and I think a lot of times that makes them sound, you know, very out of touch. That makes them sound very out of touch to what’s going on right here in America,” he said.
Charlamagne said international issues are being “highlighted over what’s happening right here in this country, and when you hear, you know, the Vances and Trumps talking about what’s happening here at home and saying things like ‘America First’ and ‘Make America Great Again,’ that messaging sometimes resonates a lot more.”
He continued, correcting himself by stating, “Not sometimes, it does resonate a lot more.”
Charlamagne said Americans are struggling in the aftermath of natural disasters and don’t like it when money is paying for things abroad.
For instance, Harris pledged $157 million in “additional assistance” to Lebanon.
She said that country is “facing an increasingly dire humanitarian situation.”
“People got outraged. They were like, ‘Yo, what about us right here in North Carolina?’ So, like, that ‘America First’ messaging goes much farther, especially during an election season,” Charlamagne said.
