Charlamagne tha God delivered a scathing five-word review of Kamala Harris’ running mate Tim Walz this week.
The Breakfast Club radio host summed it up: “I don’t think he’s trash” after first quoting a scathing Jay-Z lyric when considering whether Walz was the right choice for a potential vice president over other options like Pennsylvania governor, Josh Shapiro.
Charlamagne sarcastically mused about whether Minnesota’s governor is the best “white guy getting other white people excited,” but admitted he doesn’t see Walz’s “impact.”
Paraphrasing Jay-Z’s hit ‘Takeover,’ Charlamagne asked: “What did Jay-Z say? ‘He had a spark when he started, but now he’s just garbage’?”
‘I don’t think it’s rubbish, you know what I’m saying? But it’s like I don’t see the impact.”
Charlamagne tha God said “I don’t think it’s trash” when asked about Kamala Harris’ VP pick Tim Walz.
Co-host Lauren LoRosa then jokingly added that Walz “is creepy.”
“We don’t need that now,” Charlamagne replied. ‘We don’t need you to relax Walz, okay? We need you on the front lines, okay?
‘You need a white man to excite other white people. I don’t know if it’s that white person doing that, right?
The discussion took place as he and his fellow Breakfast Club hosts reviewed Harris’ initially planned itinerary for his visit to North Carolina.
He was due to visit homecoming celebrations at historically black colleges and universities, but canceled a trip to his alma mater, Howard University.
Instead, Harris headed to the Midwest for a series of events in Wisconsin and Michigan and appeared at a rally with singer Lizzo in Detroit, Michigan, another crucial state, on Saturday.
That prompted Charlamagne to sarcastically say, “The rest of you are going to stay with Tim Walz.”
On Thursday, Walz campaigned in North Carolina alongside former President Bill Clinton at an event in Durham.
But the radio host admitted he doesn’t see Walz’s “impact” and questioned whether he was the right person for the job.
He has been forced to prove himself after his debate performance against JD Vance failed to impress many Democrats.
Republican Vance earned higher marks for his debate performance, Walz was who Americans would prefer to have a beer with, according to likely voters surveyed by JL Partners for DailyMail.com.
Walz was preferred over Vance when asked about a variety of activities, including who they would let watch their kids, who they would plan a road trip with and who they would take care of their pets.
The poll suggested a “deeper identification” with Walz, despite the Minnesota governor’s uneven performance compared to Vance’s polished presentation.
At the same time, Walz slightly edged out Vance when likely voters were asked which candidate they considered “stranger.”
Walz has been supporting Harris during the election campaign, including at a rally in North Carolina alongside former President Bill Clinton.
Walz was the Democrat credited with calling Vance and former President Donald Trump “weird,” saying at an early campaign rally with Vice President Kamala Harris: “These guys are creepy and yeah, just weird as hell “.
She has recently been working hard to try to win over the white male voters Harris desperately needs to secure to win.
Earlier this week, the vice presidential hopeful was on a Pennsylvania farm showing off his shooting skills to coincide with the Democratic campaign’s new hunter affinity group.
