The Breakfast Club radio show co-host Charlamagne tha God has dismissed the legal prosecution against President-elect Donald Trump as “pure political theater,” saying the left’s glee over the “convicted felon” label is meaningless because “you still got to call him President for the next four years.
Charlamagne tha God sounded off on the left’s years-long lawfare against Trump on Monday’s show.
“What a waste of time. Pure political theater,” he said, later adding: “What was even more ridiculous was watching liberals celebrate this.”
“This is not a win. Who cares if you can call him a convicted felon when you still got to call him President for the next four years?”
