Charlamagne tha God wonders ‘what happened to all the fascist talk’ about Trump

But don't y'all find it strange that now that [Trump] won, they're not calling him a threat of democracy? They're not calling him a fascist. I mean, damn,

Charlamagne said

I just don't understand the White House visit. Now granted, you know, I'm glad it's a peaceful transition of power, but what happened to the ‘threat of democracy’ talk? What happened to the ‘fascist’ talk?"

Charlamagne asked

I would think that, you know, if you really believe that, then somebody’s speech would be about how America effed up and how things are about to be really bad. It just makes you wonder how much of it did they really believe, or how much of it was just politics. That’s all,

the radio host said

He was happy, he was smiling, he was grinning, he was cheesing, ‘Say cheese!’ he was cheesing, bro."

I'm just trying to figure out, how do you go from ‘He's an existential threat to democracy’ to ‘Welcome back!’"

This is what you do, you show up, you shake hands, and you prove that the democracy stands. The voters decided, you show up and you pass it off,

I certainly looked at it like that, because I just didn’t like the optics of a convicted felon sitting in the White House near a fireplace,

co-host Sunny Hostin said

But instead, there’s no self-reflection because they don’t actually believe Donald Trump is Hitler. They understand that everything is going to be fine. This is a big country that was designed for people who have different opinions,

Lowe Doescher continued

It was pretty clear that he did not actually view this man next to him as a fascist or as a Hitler wannabe. Because you don’t welcome them and promise what an efficient and effective transition you will have, which is what he said, which is what Karine Jean-Pierre said in response to the meeting,

I mean, again, if they actually believed anything that they were saying, they would not be quite so sanguine,

Lowe Doescher said of Biden's change of tune

Well, I just don't understand the White House visit,

he told his audience

The president is going to always feel obligated to be honest with the American people. What he says still stands,

said Jean-Pierre of Biden

And that’s what this president is doing: leading by example and putting — putting that aside and putting the American people first,

she said

Joe Bidenpresident

This job is not fun, ... Missed you in the race,

Looking a bit down, Biden says ... to which ... which Trump responds

Roller skating had me laughing, then the roulette table had me howling."

One person wrote

Trump's hair fluttering and waving in those scenes was priceless."

Another commented

In the meeting, we saw a unified front related to a transition in the Oval Office meeting, but a lot was said on the campaign trail, like, Trump is a dangerous threat to our country and our democracy. Was there an apology today?"

Lawrence noted this change in tone to Jean-Pierre

What he says still stands. And it’s not just him. You heard this from former staffers. You’ve heard it from the former chief of staff, John Kelly, and others. You’ve heard it directly from the president, president-elect, former President about enemy of the people. Very, very clear. Very clear,

the press secretary said

But what he said still stands, and it’s not just him. I don’t — we should not just put this at the president. His own people said this. So, I want to be really, really clear about that and not forget the facts. There are facts here that we should certainly also lift up as you’re asking me these questions,

she added

One knee is sharply pointed weapon-like towards Biden,
