In a recent tête-à-tête on CNN, Anderson Cooper found himself caught in a storm of liberal rhetoric that would make any conservative roll their eyes. The guest in question? Charlamagne tha God, a self-proclaimed leader of woke thought and host of the morning show “The Breakfast Club.” Their discussion veered from the presidential race to what some might call the “critical theory” of race that currently feels like a mallet over the heads of the American public.
Contrary to what one might expect, the evening wasn’t all smooth sailing. Charlamagne, whose name is apparently both confusing and amusing, took the opportunity to voice his disdain for Trump’s comments on Kamala Harris’s heritage. Instead of discussing policies or facts, he opted to allege that Trump was a “fascist” for simply existing in the political arena—an analysis that warrants a snicker. After all, in the world of leftist media, calling someone a fascist is akin to pointing out the grass is green; it’s just something that flies under the radar without much examination.
👀Even CNN knows. They drove the final nail into this Cackling 🤡’s coffin tonight at this desperation Town Hall. Looks like Anderson Cooper is trying to get some of his dignity back! Who would have thought? VOTE TRUMP! pic.twitter.com/37JTRKSgke

As the conversation progressed, Cooper tried to steer the ship back on track. However, the liberal guest had other plans and pivoted to the notion that media outlets like CNN obsess over individuals like Harris and Colin Kaepernick. He lamented that discussions of Kaepernick’s knee-taking—which, to many, looked more like an exercise in using sports as a platform for divisive politics—seemed to overshadow what he called “true threats” from Trump. He questioned why folks lashed out at Kaepernick while mostly ignoring the former president’s alleged authoritarian rhetoric. It was a classic case of misdirection, where the real goal seems to pivot away from accountability.
Cooper attempted to regain control of the conversation, arguing that the American people certainly care about who holds the presidency. But the back-and-forth devolved further as Charlamagne jumped in, reminding Cooper that calling Trump a fascist was somehow more pressing than answering the riveting question of Harris’s race. It’s as if the race card is the Swiss Army knife of leftist debates—always ready to be whipped out at a moment’s notice when others get uncomfortable with the facts.
At some point in the exchange, Cooper’s patience wore thin, leading to an outburst that was almost shocking for a network that prides itself on being the “serious” news source. It doesn’t take a genius to realize that his frustration stemmed from the realization he was dealing with a guest who was less interested in fact-checking and more focused on perpetuating a narrative dictated by woke politics. Cooper, who usually manages to maintain decorum, not only lost his cool but allowed the dialogue to devolve into a more unfiltered commentary on how CNN’s role in national discourse has been largely reduced to contextually baseless discussions about race.
While audiences tuned in anticipating a straightforward political discussion, they instead witnessed a reality that highlighted the absurdity often found in leftist arguments. In an age where legitimate concerns and policies are often drowned out by emotional theatrics and identity politics, it is alarming yet amusing to watch the opposition squabble over matters that have little to do with the actual state of the nation. One has to question if CNN’s ratings hiccup stems from the reality that viewers are simply tired of convoluted discussions that often lead nowhere but back to circular logic and rhetorical flourishes.
