Radio host Charlamagne Tha God sparred with “The View” co-hosts Wednesday on whether President Joe Biden lied about pardoning his son, Hunter Biden.

Biden issued a “full and unconditional” pardon for his son on Sunday after he repeatedly assured the American public that he would not grant one to Hunter over his conviction, pending cases or potential criminal charges against him. The co-hosts rebuked Charlamagne for arguing that Biden blatantly lied about his plans to pardon his son and for criticizing Democrats over their alleged “moral high ground.”
“The criticism is valid because you know, Democrats stand on this moral high ground all the time and they act so self-righteous,” Charlamagne said. “The reality is, he didn’t have to say anything in regard to whether or not his son wanted to be pardoned. He couldn’t said ‘hey man, I’m not focused on that right now.’ But since they’re calling a threat to democracy and they were saying ‘nobody is above the law,’ but they were speaking about him. That’s what they were running on … [Biden] didn’t believe that. He didn’t have to volunteer that lie to begin with.”
“I’m gonna stop you for a second, only because you don’t know that it was a lie. We don’t know why he changed his mind,” co-host Whoopi Goldberg interjected, leading Charlamagne to scoff at the idea that Biden simply changed his mind. “I’m gonna tell you what I think. I think he changed his mind because he got sick of watching everybody else get over. And this is just my feeling, because at some point you just get to the place where you go ‘so I’m just gonna follow the straight arrow always, because that’s what’s expected of Democrats.'”
Charlamagne argued that Democrats need to stop attempting to take the “moral high ground” by saying “nobody is above the law” and then accuse the Department of Justice of politically attacking Hunter. Goldberg then complained that everyone “clutches their pearls” whenever Biden does anything they disagree with, leading Charlamagne to say that both political parties “refuse to be objective” about the flaws and wrongdoings committed by their own side.

“But that’s not a monolith,” Goldberg replied. “We’re not, Democrats are not a monolith.”
“Then why can’t you say when Democrats are wrong?” Charlamagne asked. “And why can’t Republicans say when Republicans are wrong? You don’t think Joe Biden is wrong? Then that’s ridiculous.”
Co-host Sunny Hostin argued that Biden pardoned Hunter in order to protect him from President-elect Donald Trump’s alleged plan to take revenge on his political enemies. Charlamagne replied that neither Biden or Trump have the moral high ground and once again criticized the lack of objectivity in politics.
The president pardoned his son from all convicted crimes or pending criminal charges committed between Jan. 1, 2014 and Dec. 1, 2024, including any potential charges relating to his overseas business dealings and time served on the board of Burisma, a now-defunct Ukrainian energy company.
A Delaware jury convicted Hunter on three felony counts relating to his purchase of a Colt Cobra in 2018 while knowingly being addicted to drugs and for writing false information on his purchase form. He also faced up to 17 years in prison regarding nine charges alleging that he failed to pay $1.4 million in taxes between 2016 and 2019.
Democrat figure that since nobody believed it when a Democrat said it, that it therefore is not a lie — because nobody believed it, and it was a Democrat who said it.
Good work, Charlemagne.
That said, I’m not calling you da God because “Thou shalt have no da Gods before me.”
Well, some people like watching cartoons apparently.
Yeah right. It’s like the WWE, something little kids would watch on Saturday morning.
At least Charlamagne is a sane person..................
Fake Latina Sonny Hostin was worried that Trump was going to take revenge on his political enemies so that’s why lying Joe pardoned Hunter. No mention of NYS changing laws so Trump could be prosecuted or that the DOJ colluded with NYS, ATL and anyone else who wanted to “get Trump.” Up to and including TWO ASSASSINATION attempts.
The insane arguing with the insane.
I watched this. Then puked. Watched it again. Then puked. And I realized that this was a bit like bulimia so I stopped.
Seriously- Whoopi is absolutely insane. Looking at her screams of someone so consumed by anger and hatred that it has turned that person ugly inside and out. Not that she was ever a beauty queen, but she was a comedienne at one point and had a fun sense of humor. Gone is that person who was able to star in Sister Act or go on Hollywood Squares and get a laugh or laugh.
The View truly is a sad show. The look on their faces is like they are always a feather away from being triggered. How anyone can go on that show is amazing to me. Stray but a little from their version of reality and it is like one of those movies where holy water is sprayed on a vampire.
Vile and disgusting.
But I believe wholeheartedly in telling my wife that I'm her "thigh lord". LOL
The main theme of what they were running on that nobody is above the law was a lie. It’s not Biden would pardon his son, because of course Joe is lying and of course he will pardon him. But when asked the question before the election, they had to make it a point that no one is above the law to try to win the election. Once the election was over - it didn’t matter to them anymore. It didn’t matter whether he kept that promise or not. That’s why Joe Biden has always been and will always be a scumbag. Whoopie and Sonny making up stupid excuses for him. Next pardon: Jim Biden.
Yeah, until he ran to Whoopi giving her a hug……then he went insane again.
I generally don’t listen to people that find the word “the” challenging to spell.
Maybe he has something interested to say, but I can’t follow anyone who wants to be called “Tha God” as part of his name.
Its partially religious but its sort of a sort of childish arrogance meets hollywood entertainment that makes it difficult to take someone seriously when speaking on serious topics.
Not even a little. He would vote for Biden or Kamala again in a heartbeat... and he wears mascara.
biden, the filthy bastard, lied. The prosecution of Hunter was ordered so that it would look like the “justice” department was treating both Trump and Hunter fairly. biden told Hunter there was nothing to worry about, that dad would pardon his son.
The pardon was intended and planned from the start of the prosecution.
Yes, the ugly lying skank Whoopie Cushion IS insane.
I watched about half of it. That show is ridiculous. That is the last video I’ll watch that features The View, whether it is applauding them or showing how they are idiots.
Yeah, they’re idiots. I don’t need to continue watching videos to prove it. I’m done.
