Charlamagne Tha God under fire for ‘poor preparation’ during interview with Donald Trump’s daughter-in-law when she bluntly stated that Trump is not a racist

The co-chair of the Republican National Party drew laughter from Charlamagne Tha God on Tuesday when she insisted that her father-in-law, Donald Trump, is not a bigot.

“I have never heard this man say anything racist,” Lara Trump said in response to a query Tuesday from “Breakfast Club” co-host DJ Envy. She challenged Charlemagne to offer examples, and he did.

“People act as if there is no such thing as Google,” he said.

The short montage of “The Breakfast Club” featured the previous president’s 2015 remarks about Mexican immigrants, whom he denounced as “rapists,” and his branding of Haiti, El Salvador and several other African countries as “sucking countries.”

DJ Envy went back to the early Seventies when Donald Trump and his father faced… discrimination lawsuit brought by the Department of Justice over the alleged refusal to rent apartments to black tenants. Testimony shows that in predominantly white housing, applications submitted by black applicants were marked with the letter “C” for “colored.”

He also addressed Trump’s refusal to apologize for recommending the death penalty for “The Central Park Five” in a full-page newspaper ad after they were falsely implicated in a brutal rape.

Lara Trump, Eric Trump’s wife, followed her father-in-law’s advice by denying the accusations after which launching into a series of broad platitudes. She did not reply to Trump’s continued claims that five young men convicted of brutally raping a Central Park jogger in 1989 had pleaded guilty and the victim had died. They didn’t and she wasn’t killed.

Five former defendants announced On Monday, they’re suing the previous president for defamation.

Her claim that the federal housing discrimination lawsuit was settled without an request for forgiveness is technically true, nevertheless it ignores the actual fact that: as agreedDonald Trump has “failed and neglected” to uphold the Fair Housing Act.

“You can undress anyone you want,” Lara Trump said. “Traditionally, people talk about attacking Republicans and calling them racists. But if you look at what he wants for this country, he wants every person to succeed. “I want black Americans to succeed, Latino Americans to succeed, and women to succeed.”

Charlamagne continued to ask questions on the GOP candidate’s alleged racism, noting his recent claims, unsupported by any evidence, and that Haitian immigrants in Ohio were eating human pets.

“How do you ask Mexicans and Muslims to ignore a lot of this rhetoric, Haitians to ignore a lot of the rhetoric that he has said about them that is dangerous, that has denigrated and demonized them?” he asked.

“The comments are being misinterpreted,” she replied

Charlamagne doubled down on the purpose: “By making these sweeping generalizations, you’re really hurting the Haitian Americans who are here and the Mexican Americans who are here. Everyone is being labeled, vilified and demonized.”

The RNC co-chairman remained on the defensive, refusing to budge an inch. However, from comments posted on X, it appears that she didn’t break through with “Breakfast Club” listeners, not less than on the subject of race.

She had a few defenders: “She’s right, the idea that Donald Trump is a racist is a false narrative invented by the left-wing media,” one in every of them said – but most read like this:

“Laura Trump is learning from her father-in-law,” one other listener said. “When he comments on housing discrimination within the Seventies, he is telling half-truths or outright lies. Trump’s actions surrounding the Central Park Five are racism on steroids. How dare she try to reduce it.

“Let’s say Trump is not a racist, racists support him, and he plays up this ideology in the name of his goals,” wrote one in every of them. “And that is one of the many reasons why I would never support him.”

On the opposite hand, Charlamagne also attracted anger from listeners who felt that the radio hosts were unprepared for the interview. “You were terribly ill-prepared for this conversation. #embarrassing,” wrote one commentator.

One user asked, “Why did you let these liars on your platform?” One commenter responded to the query: “Let them come, but prepare some clips and facts that will debunk these lies about gaslighting.”

There are plenty more comments and actions which, if not racist, are at best racially insensitive. He began his political profession after repeated assurances that President Barack Obama was not born within the USA and subsequently did not meet the qualifications of president. Not true, but racists and Obama haters loved him for it.

But despite all this, Trump is there polling higher amongst African Americans than during his previous two runs for office.

“He will work equally for every American,” Lara Trump told Charlamagne. “He did it in his first term as president, and he will do it again.”
