Syndicated radio host Charlamagne tha God on Sunday revealed that he hears blowback from the White House when he publicly criticizes President Biden, calling it the “stupidest shit ever,” The Hill is reporting.
Speaking with ABC “This Week” co-anchor Jonathan Karl on Sunday, the “Breakfast Club” radio personality called Biden an “uninspiring candidate” and urged the commander in chief to lean more on Vice President Harris, whom he called “more charismatic.”
“Well, he’s, he’s just an uninspiring candidate, like … there’s nothing about … Joe Biden that makes you want to listen to him,” he said.

Biden is 81 years old, 4 years older than former President Trump, who is 77. The incumbent has faced repeated criticism for his age and doubts about his ability to carry out a second term. These concerns were thrown into the spotlight earlier this month in the midst of a special counsel report on Biden that included a harsh assessment of his memory.
When pressed on whether he gets blowback from the White House for airing his feelings on Biden publicly, Charlamagne said, “Yeah. And I think that’s the stupidest shit ever, because I think that … because I feel like you should be able to criticize whoever your elected official is, right?”
“And even [if] I do criticize them, I’m criticizing them because of what I see coming up in November. I see what we’re facing. So what I’m saying to them, ‘Where is the sense of urgency?'” he continued. “You can’t keep saying that there’s a, a threat to democracy, and democracy as we know it is going to be, be gone, but not act like it.”
Charlamagne, who rarely makes appearances on Sunday morning political shows, gave his remarks just months after he called on Biden to drop out of the presidential race, pointing to low polling numbers for the former president.
Charlamagne further dug into the the narrative set around Republican candidates, claiming GOP presidential candidates are “demonized” in every election by the Democratic Party.
