Following Trump's White House visit, Charlamagne queries how Biden shifted from being viewed as a "threat to democracy" to being warmly welcomed back.

President Biden was criticized by radio host Charlamagne Tha God for his change in tone from condemning President-elect Trump as a threat to American democracy to welcoming him at the White House.

During his presidential campaign, Biden frequently asserted that Trump posed a danger to democracy. In the weeks leading up to the election, he advocated for Trump's political imprisonment and emphasized the importance of protecting democracy. Since the election, however, Biden has taken a more conciliatory approach, even welcoming Trump with a warm smile at the White House.

On Thursday, Charlamagne discussed the stark contrast with his co-hosts on "The Breakfast Club."

Charlamagne speaks on his show
Radio host Charlamagne Tha God has remarked multiple times that the rhetoric about President-elect Trump, particularly from President Biden, has changed drastically since Trump won the election.

"Charlamagne questioned the lack of "threat of democracy" and "fascist" talk during the White House visit, stating that he was glad for a peaceful transition of power. He acknowledged that he had also used those terms about Trump, but he was not the one making the statements. He emphasized that when his political opponents used those terms, it held more weight than his own words."

He added further, 'I'm just trying to understand how to transition from 'He's an existential threat to democracy' to 'Welcome back!'

Biden appeared "happy, too," as evidenced by his smiling, grinning, and "cheesing" expression, prompting a co-host to say, "Say cheese!"

"Charlamagne expressed bewilderment, saying, "I'm just trying to figure out how. I understand President Biden believes in political norms, but damn!""

On Friday, Charlamagne had made similar comments after Biden congratulated Trump on his victory and assured that his entire administration would work "to ensure a peaceful and orderly transition."

Charlamagne pointed out at the time that it was strange how, after winning, he was no longer being called a threat to democracy or a fascist.

The radio host remarked, "If you truly believe that, it seems like someone's speech would focus on how America has made mistakes and the future will be dire. It's intriguing to consider whether they truly believed it or if it was just political rhetoric. That's all."
