A recent caller to the liberal ‘Breakfast Club’ podcast challenged host Charlamagne tha God about the way the media treats President Trump, suggesting that their hateful rhetoric is what is causing people to try to kill him.
Chrlamagne tried to push back, suggesting that all presidents get death threats and assassination attempts. He brought up George W. Bush, for some reason, but the caller pushed back saying he only remembered someone throwing a shoe at Bush’s head.
The caller was actually very sharp. Charlamagne really wasn’t able to refute his points at all.
FOX News reports:
A caller challenged Charlamagne tha God during a live segment on “The Breakfast Club,” arguing Monday that media narratives have contributed to threats and attempted violence against President Donald Trump, as debate intensifies following the recent assassination attempt against the president.
The caller opened the exchange by blaming media narratives for escalating tensions surrounding Trump.
“The only thing that’s changed is the way y’all have radicalized the media against Donald Trump,” the caller said. “That’s why people are trying to kill him, because the media is pumping in their heads that this man is this, that, and the third.”
Charlamagne responded by placing the issue in historical context, pointing to prior threats against U.S. presidents.
“Assassination attempts against presidents isn’t anything new,” Charlamagne said.
Co-host DJ Envy added a specific example involving former President George W. Bush.
“They were trying to kill Bush. I remember somebody throwing a shoe at him,” Envy said.
“I don’t remember nobody trying to shoot his ear off,” the caller said.
The caller rejected the idea that current tensions were unprecedented, arguing political hostility had long existed in American life.
“I think America has always been this way. The only thing that changed is the media and the propaganda,” the caller said.

The fact that Trump was defended by this caller, who sounds black, says a lot about how the country’s voting blocs have changed.
The Democrats no longer own the black vote and the media no longer controls the narrative.
These are steps in the right direction.
