Radio host Charlamagne Tha God called out Democratic California Rep. Eric Swalwell this week for Democrats’ credibility problem in the wake of the massive cover-up of Joe Biden’s cognitive decline.
When Swalwell argued many figures in politics are acting as accomplices to President Donald Trump, Charlamagne said take a look at your own party.
“But isn’t that all of y’all, though?” the host asked.
“I don’t think so, I hope not,” Swalwell replied.
“I just finished reading the ‘Original Sin,’” Charlamagne noted, referring to the new book by CNN’s Jake Tapper and Axios’ Alex Thompson.
“So when I hear you talk, I’m like, well, what was the Democrats’ excuse when they chose to be accomplices in the cover-up of Biden’s physical and mental decline? It’s the same thing. Y’all got on television and pretended to act like everything was fine, knowing behind the scenes he was not the one.”
“I don’t think many of us were behind the scenes, to be honest,” Swalwell said. “I didn’t spend much time with President Biden behind the scenes.”
Later, Swalwell said Democrats must be the party of the future, “because the past was rejected last November.”
Charlamagne didn’t miss a beat with a sharp reply.
“Why should we ever trust the Democratic Party after they lied to us [for] so long about President Biden?” the host asked. “And I’m big on this, because I just read the ‘Original Sin’ and I’m just like… I think that Democrats have tried every strategy except for two things, honesty and courage.”
