Charlamagne Tha God blasted conservatives who called Vice President Kamala Harris a “DEI mercenary,” stating on Wednesday’s episode of “The Daily Show” that Republicans see the acronym standing for “Black, Black, Black.”
The radio host said in a guest appearance on the show that he had looked at photos of every president of the United States, adding that it “seems like there’s one identity in particular that gives you an edge.”
“White, white men,” Charlamagne whispered as he leaned closer to the camera.
He continued, “I’m just saying that Donald Trump wouldn’t have gotten the job if his first name was Donnell, okay? He would evict himself from his own apartment before his career could start.”
Earlier in the program, Charlamagne threw out a compilation of clips from right-wing networks in which personalities — including ex-Trump White House aide Sebastian Gorka — hurled the attack and similar insults at Harris.
“This woman, this disaster whose only qualification was having a vagina and the right skin color,” Gorka told Britain’s GB News last month.
“That’s right, if you have dark skin and a vagina, you can go straight to the Oval Office, okay?” Charlemagne joked.
A contributor to “The Daily Show” later noted that Harris did a “great job” as vice president before asking the audience if they remembered the “one big thing” she did while in office.
“Me neither, okay?” he said.
“And that’s exactly what you look for in a VP, someone who doesn’t make the news. A VP is like a carbon monoxide detector. You want to have one, but if it makes any noise, something went wrong, something went wrong, okay.
