NYC Radio: WWPR's Charlamagne Disses Joe Biden

Charlamagne Tha God
WWPR Power 105.1 New York host Charlamagne Tha God has criticized Biden for saying that Donald Trump is the “first” racist president.

The host of the “The Breakfast Club,” which airs in 90 markets around the country, said Biden was engaging in “revisionist history” by overlooking past presidents’ beliefs and behaviors. “How the hell can Donald Trump be the first racist president in a country where 12 presidents before him owned slaves?” said the host, who is Black.

Charlamagne, whose real name is Lenard McKelvey, added that Biden should “hurry up and announce your Black woman VP so I can be enthused about voting for her, because I will never be enthused about voting for you.”

Biden called Trump the first “racist” president on Wednesday during a virtual town hall meeting. The comment was widely condemned on social media for minimizing the beliefs and behavior of many former presidents.

Biden drew criticism after a May interview with Charlamagne in which he said “if you have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or Trump, then you ain’t Black.” He later apologized.
