Black Radio Host Goes on CNN and Nails the Trump Verdict's Impact on the 2024 Race

Lenard Larry McKelvey, aka ‘Charlamagne Tha God,’ went on CNN over the weekend and dropped a take on the Trump guilty verdict that wasn’t shocking. However, it continues to send the Left into cardiac arrest, especially those in CNN’s front office.

The liberal media is doing a full-court press in selling the ‘Trump is a felon’ talking point. No one cares, especially those in the Republican Party who think this hush money trial in Manhattan, for which former President Donald Trump was found guilty on all 34 counts, was a political witch hunt. With Biden’s poll numbers sagging, it seems like the Democrats cooked the books and made up the charges to throw Trump in jail. McKelvey pointed to the 2024 race as a base election—whoever can motivate their side more wins. 

Right now, he sees the guilty verdict as having no impact on the race regarding damaging Trump. On the contrary, like the 2022 Mar-a-Lago raid, the GOP base is energized. Our friend Becca Lower had it first at RedState and transcribed McKelvey’s appearance with CNN’s Michael Smerconish.
