... "I think there's a political coup going on right now in the Republican Party that people aren't paying attention to," Charlamagne said. ...
Asked how he would rate Trump's presidency, the radio host said, "I wouldn't give it a good rating simply because the least of us are still being impacted the worst." ...
Charlamagne said he personally will benefit from tax breaks approved in Trump's tax-and spending law, but said, "There's going to be so many people that's hurt by that bill.''
"Anything that takes away Medicaid from people and will put people in a worse financial situation than they were previously in, I'm not for," he added.
Charlamagne also predicted that "traditional conservatives" are going to take back the Republican Party from Trump's Make America Great Again movement, citing controversy over Trump's refusal to release files related to disgraced financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
"I think there's a political coup going on right now in the Republican Party that people aren't paying attention to," Charlamagne said. "I think this Epstein thing is going to be a way for traditional conservatives to take their party back. I really do. I think that they know this is the issue that has gotten the base riled up, the MAGA base isn't letting this issue go and for the first time they can probably take their party back and not piss off the MAGA base. I think they're going to do that." ...
Charlamagne told Lara Trump that his criticism of the Republican president was not new, adding that he "gave President Biden the same hell" when he didn't think the Democrat was doing a good job. ...
