Charlamagne Tha God presses Dems to end shutdown impasse: 'Stop playing politics'

Charlamagne Tha God presses Dems to end shutdown impasse: ‘Stop playing politics’
by Ashleigh Fields

Charlamagne Tha God urged Senate Democrats to reopen the government, citing citizens’ dire needs amid the federal shuttering.

The radio host said during a Wednesday segment of “The Breakfast Club” that the party needs to abandon the fight to extend Affordable Care Act (ACA) premium subsidies to ensure that federal workers receive pay.

“Dems, you had a great night last night,” Charlamagne said referring to the party’s Tuesday election wins.

“The premiums have already gone up. They are set for the year,” he added. “It’s time to move on. We appreciate the fight, the valiant effort, but come on, man, people got rent due. People got childcare to pay for, light bills, car notes.”

For those of us who remembered him when he was just an insignificant sidekick to Wendy Williams in the 90s, we knew he was never to be taken seriously. While I understood why, Kamala Harris should have never engaged with him then, and he will continue to be a thorn to a small yet needed voting population in the future.

Also they are wrong, the premium will be calculated in January with the subsidies or lack thereof included. Right now we just have sticker shock estimates.

Yes end the shutdown, but by Renewed negotiations, not surrendering for no reason.

These influencers are some of the most ignorant individuals spouting opinions about things they are unable to comprehend to people just like themselves. His timing is very suspicious but you have to keep those payments coming.

Charlemagne has been around since the 90s, and as a syndicated show, he was a staple in many homes on the morning ride to work. He became more polarizing, though, after engaging in politics. He was better off sticking with his entertainment format and leaving politics alone because, prior to this 2024 election, he was unengaged and an uninformed person.

Dems did propose a bill that would cleanly fund the government as the GOP wanted if the health care subsidies got funded for 1 year. The GOP shot it down. At this point the only side presenting ideas is our side

The republicans are in charge. If they want they can scrap the filibuster and ram anything they want through.

They won’t because now they’re afraid of losing.
