Celeb radio host Charlamagne tha God accused former President Obama of “kissing the ring” after video of him laughing with President-elect Trump at former President Carter’s funeral went viral.
“After you went so hard calling somebody a threat to democracy and calling somebody a fascist and now you’re just chummy-chummy with the man?” Charlamagne stated on his radio present “The Breakfast Club.”
“You told us he was a threat to democracy! To me, that’s just terrible political optics,” he added.
Obama and Trump have been among the many 5 presidents at Carter’s funeral. In a video of the 2 sitting aspect by aspect, Trump will be seen saying one thing that makes Obama chortle. Former first girl Michelle Obama was not current.
Charlamagne’s co-hosts pushed again, saying the 2 may have been speaking about something.
“They could have been saying anything. Trump could have said, ‘you smell that?’ and somebody farted, and he could have just laughed,” DJ Envy stated. “You just never know what they’re saying.”
Following the funeral, Trump stated he thinks he and Obama “probably” like one another.
“It did look very friendly, I must say,” Trump informed Fox Information senior White Home correspondent Peter Doocy. “I didn’t realize how friendly it looked. I saw it on your wonderful network, just a little while ago before I came in, and I said, ‘Boy, they look like two people that like each other.’ And we probably do.”
Trump didn’t present particulars on what the dialog was about.
The video of Obama and Trump laughing is a far cry from the rhetoric each have stated concerning the different.
Trump led the “birther” motion throughout Obama’s tenure, falsely claiming the nation’s first Black president was a Muslim terrorist who was not born in America.
Obama, in the meantime, referred to as Trump harmful and a fascist on the marketing campaign path for Vice President Harris.
It’s that historical past Charlamagne pointed to as he insisted the interplay was disturbing.
“You got the last real leader of the Democratic Party, Barack Obama, laughing and giggling with Trump. Looking like, yeah, he’s kissing the ring,” Charlamagne stated. “That’s what it looked like.”
