God Charlamagne questions Whoopi Goldberg over President Biden's controversial pardon of scandal-scarred son Hunter: 'Why can't you just say the Democrats are wrong?' . Appearing on “The View” on Wednesday.
The “Breakfast Club” host sparred with Goldberg as the two liberals sparred over the 82-year-old president's decision to not interfere in Hunter's 54 years of federal crimes. did. -My eldest son's crime problem.
Charlamagne said the criticism of Biden was “justified” because “Democrats are always standing on this moral high ground” and “acting so self-righteously.”
“The reality is he didn't have to say anything as to whether his son wanted a pardon or not…But they called (President-elect Donald) Trump a threat to democracy and said there is no one above him. “So they were following the law, but they were talking about him and that was their objective,” he added.
Mr. Goldberg quickly countered that Americans do not know that Mr. Biden was lying when he claimed he would not help Mr. Hunter, who has two sentences for federal gun and tax evasion convictions.
Biden insisted in a statement Sunday that he decided to change course over the Thanksgiving holiday.
“I don't know why he changed his mind,” Goldberg said, to which Charlamagne asked, confused: “Do you really think he suddenly changed his mind over Thanksgiving weekend?” I interjected.
Goldberg countered that he was tired of “watching everyone else get over it” before Biden changed his tune.
As the two sides continued to clash, Charlamagne argued that supporters of both major political parties lacked objectivity and were tantamount to rooting for their favorite sports teams.
“When it comes to political parties, when you pick a side and say you're a Democrat or you're a Republican, you refuse to be objective about anything,” he said.
“Democrats are not a monolith,” Goldberg exclaimed, while Charlamagne asked, “Why can't you say the Democrats are wrong?”
“And why can't we say the Republicans are wrong?” he added.
Goldberg blamed Democrats on his show, but continued to insist that Biden did nothing wrong.
“Well, that's ridiculous,” he said of her defending the outgoing 46th president.
However, the tense confrontation ended on a good note when Charlamagne got up from his seat and hugged her after Goldberg said, “Come here and kiss me.”
“Neither one has the moral high ground,” Charlamagne said of Democrats and Republicans.
“That's what I'm trying to get people to understand: If you're a hardcore Democrat or a hardcore Republican, you refuse to be objective about the other person.”
