CHARLAMAGNE THA GOD “HATED” HOW THE MEDIA FOCUSED ON HOW BLACK MALES VOTED
NIKKI HALEY, HOST: How did you consider the truth that rapidly, in all of the evaluation and the polling, all people zoomed in on minority males?
CHARLAMAGNE THA GOD: I hated it. And the explanation I hated it, ’trigger I knew it wasn’t gonna be actual. There was nothing that I used to be experiencing on the street amongst folks, on my radio present, that made me suppose that there was going to be this, you already know, extraordinary quantity of black males that went on the market and voted for Donald Trump or simply black folks. And look, the numbers got here out and it was about the identical. It was like 85% of black folks voted for Kamala Harris. They had been so targeted on us and what we weren’t going to do this they weren’t paying no consideration to Latinos, clearly.
NIKKI HALEY, HOST: Proper.
CHARLAMAGNE THA GOD: Particularly Latino males. And I had been telling them again and again, you gotta go on the market and discuss to white ladies. 52% of white ladies voted for Trump in 2016, I feel 55% in 2020. I feel this 12 months it was like 53%. They didn’t do any of that. Like that was what, in an period the place individuals are speaking about ladies’s reproductive rights and Roe v. Wade is being overturned, that’s who try to be attempting to faucet into. They had been attacking a base. They had been attacking a bunch of individuals of their base that didn’t should be attacked. Like, what did black males should be attacked for? We confirmed up and at all times present up.
NIKKI HALEY, HOST: However for those who discuss to, for those who take heed to conservative media, they’re speaking concerning the reality they received black males. They’re speaking about the truth that –
CHANEY DENTON, CO-HOST: Nicely, they moved it sufficient.
NIKKI HALEY, HOST: They moved it sufficient.
CHARLAMAGNE THA GOD: Yeah. They moved it.
NIKKI HALEY, HOST: And why do you suppose that was? Now whenever you look again, you already know, I can speak about, you already know, the place I feel ladies had been, however the place do you suppose, what do you suppose shifted minority males away from Kamala Harris to Donald Trump? Is it true they didn’t need a feminine president of america, or was it one thing else?
CHARLAMAGNE THA GOD: No. I don’t agree with the, you already know, they didn’t need a girl president as a result of, you already know, you have a look at Hillary Clinton. Hillary Clinton received the favored vote. I feel she had 65 million folks vote for her in 2016. This 12 months, the vp had 74 million. I learn one thing yesterday, she had essentially the most votes of any Democrat, the second most votes of any Democratic president ever. Proper. I can’t keep in mind the variety of black males that voted for her, however black males did go on the market and vote for her. I don’t suppose it has something to do together with her gender. And I feel that we additionally fail to appreciate that there are black conservatives that exist. Since Ronald Reagan, 8 to fifteen% of black folks vote conservative. Just like the numbers had been about the identical this 12 months. So I don’t know why individuals are so stunned that there’s Black conservatives on the market.
NIKKI HALEY, HOST: And why is it for those who’re Black, you’re thought-about a liberal? In the event you’re white, you’re thought-about a conservative.
CHARLAMAGNE THA GOD: That’s proper.
NIKKI HALEY, HOST: And truthfully, I feel that’s why you’re seeing increasingly more Independents is as a result of they really feel like politics has grow to be a few label. You realize, politics is just speaking to this type of particular person or that sort of particular person.
CHARLAMAGNE THA GOD: That’s proper.
NIKKI HALEY, HOST: Or it’s a must to say it a technique when the truth is all people cares about the price of their groceries.
CHARLAMAGNE THA GOD: That’s proper.
NIKKI HALEY, HOST: All people cares about unlawful immigrants coming throughout the border, and why do our taxpayer {dollars} must pay for his or her schooling, their healthcare, and enhance legislation enforcement? All people cares about whether or not there’s wars all over the world. That doesn’t matter what colour or gender you’re or how you may have intercourse. That’s actually one thing that everyone thinks about. However for those who take heed to media, you wouldn’t get that.
