LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Charlamagne tha God has made it clear that he would not endorse either Joe Biden or Donald Trump, labeling both presidential candidates as "trash."

In a recent appearance on 'The View' to promote his book 'Get Honest or Die Lying: Why Small Talk Sucks', the radio personality resisted pressure from hosts Whoopi Goldberg and Sunny Hostin to endorse Biden.

Clarifying his position on voting in November, Charlamagne said, "I never said I was sitting it out."



 

Charlamagne further explained that his primary focus in the upcoming presidential elections is more on "issues" than "individuals."

He then pointed out the threat he believes Trump poses to democracy as he cited the former president's actions as reasons for his refusal to support the 77-year-old.

Charlamagne tha God labels Republicans as 'crooks' and Democrats as 'cowards'

The confrontations about endorsements were not new for Charlamagne.

The host of SiriusXM's 'The Breakfast Club' referenced previous instances on 'The View' where guests were pressured to endorse specific candidates as he pointed out an interview with Killer Mike who also refused to endorse Biden.

Calling Republicans as "crooks" and Democrats as "cowards," Charlamagne said he felt disillusioned after he endorsed Biden in 2020.

“I’ve seen y’all do this on The View before,” said the comedian.

“I saw y’all do this to Killer Mike when he was on The View, and Killer Mike literally sat here and said, ‘Hey, I supported Keisha Lance Bottoms, I supported Ralph Warnock, I supported Jon Ossoff'… that’s your opportunity to say, clearly he’s talking about President Biden. Why do y’all need us to say this if we don’t feel comfortable saying it?” he asked the hosts.

Charlamagne tha God says he'll vote for whoever can 'preserve democracy'

Stressing the importance of Charlamagne's endorsement in influencing public opinion, Goldberg stated that supporting the president would lend weight to his arguments.

Despite the host pushing him to endorse, Charlamagne reiterated his view that both Biden and Trump are not worthy of endorsement, according to OK Magazine.

"The reality is I think both candidates are trash, but I am going to vote in November and going to vote my best interest, and I’m going to vote for who I think can preserve democracy," said the television personality.

"So if I think both candidates are trash and I don’t feel like endorsing one, would you rather me endorse an individual or endorse the fact that, hey, we need to go out and defend democracy?" he told the hosts.
