Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden’s interview Friday with popular African-American commentator and radio host Charlamagne tha God has gone viral, inspiring a flood of reports and social media posts on the “contentious” exchange, particularly focused on Biden’s declaration at the end of the interview that “If you have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or Trump, then you ain’t black.”
Biden’s interview on “The Breakfast Club” began and ended in tense exchanges. Host Charlamagne welcomed Biden on by telling him bluntly, “You know, I’ve been critical of you.” A comment to which Biden responded, “I know you have. You don’t know me.” While Charlamagne allowed Biden to hold court for most of the interview, repeating his talking points about Trump’s COVID-19 response and his success in winning black support in past elections and primaries, things got notably tense again when Charlamagne asked Biden about his potential running mate near the end of the interview.
