NYC Radio: Charlamagne To Limbaugh: 'You're Delusional'

In perhaps the most diametrically opposed of radio pairings, conservative titan Rush Limbaugh and the progressive hosts of top-rated "The Breakfast Club" joined Monday to talk about George Floyd and the racial issues connected to his tragic death.

USAToday reports they agreed that police officers horribly mistreated Floyd, with Limbaugh calling for first-degree murder charges against Derek Chauvin, a white, former Minneapolis police officer who was charged with third-degree murder in connection with the May 25 death of Floyd, a black man. Limbaugh also advocated charges against the officers on the scene with Chauvin. All were fired after the incident.

Anger over Floyd's treatment and death have resulted in days of protests, some tinged with violence, in cities around the country.

But while the conversation was polite but pointed, they agreed on little else, with Charlamagne tha God of "The Breakfast Club," which discusses black cultural, political and social issues, harshly disagreeing when Limbaugh rejected the notion of white privilege.

"I don't buy into the notion of white privilege," Limbaugh said during the chat, which was taped Sunday.

"You're being delusional," Charlamagne countered.

"I think that's a liberal, political construct right along the lines of political correctness, designed to intimidate and get people to shut up and admit they're guilty of doing things they haven't done," responded Limbaugh, who later said he wouldn't agree to the term because he didn't want to "give one iota's of an inch to liberalism."

Charlamagne asked what Limbaugh thought President Donald Trump should do to help heal the current strife, saying the conservative host called on President Barack Obama to do more to ease tensions after a white police officer wasn't indicted in connection with Michael Brown's death in Ferguson, Missouri, in 2014.

Limbaugh, awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by Trump in February, said the president should try to inspire the nation to help it through these difficult times, but Charlamagne said the president "wants to incite."
