Charlamagne Tha God and comedian Andrew Schulz have publicly criticized Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., for his assertion that he was unaware of then-President Joe Biden’s decline during his presidency. On an episode of his podcast, Charlamagne grilled Swalwell, asking, “Why should we ever trust the Democratic Party after they lied to us [for] so long about President Biden?” The conversation took place on Wednesday and sparked further discussion about the credibility of the Democratic Party during Biden’s tenure.
Swalwell, a long-time member of Congress, defended himself by stating he did not spend much time with Biden behind the scenes. However, Charlamagne and Schulz dismissed this explanation, arguing that a close working relationship should have made the claim about Biden’s decline implausible. In a clip shared by Charlamagne, he emphasized the need for Democrats to ‘cut it the f— out’ for not being honest about the issue, highlighting the potential erosion of public trust in the party.
Charlamagne also took aim at CNN host Jake Tapper for his recent book,
