Charlamagne Tha God asserts that in the “age of hate,” Democrats require a messaging overhaul and should emulate Republicans’ approach to “speaking like real people.”
“Democrats have a problem. It’s not their policies. It’s not their fundraising,” he said during an appearance on The Daily Show.
“The problem they have is their messaging, or to say it plainer, it’s how they talk.” he continued.
The 45-year-old TV personality and cultural critic, whose legal name is Lenard McKelvey, subsequently aired clips of Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene.
“There were riots burning down the f‑‑‑ing country over George Floyd. And I’m really sick and tired of the bulls‑‑‑ antics I have to deal with constantly.” Greene could be seen saying in the clip.
“Yes, I know Marjorie Taylor Greene is a Whole Fools Market. But that’s authentic. That’s real America. That’s what a Waffle House sounds like at 3 a.m.” the podcast host said.
“That’s making a scene at Ann Taylor Loft because you can’t make a return without a receipt,” Charlamagne quipped of the Republican’s intense rhetoric.
Charlamagne then went on to express the same sentiment about former President Trump.
“[Trump] is a guy who knows what he wants and knows how to get it. The message is terrible, but it’s clear when he says, ‘Build a wall; lock her up; I hate sharks.’” he continued.
“No one goes, ‘I wonder what he means?’ Folks appreciate when someone sounds authentic, even if their ideas are terrible,” Charlamagne concluded.
