Overview
- Charlamagne Tha God, speaking on The Breakfast Club on Monday, blasted President Trump’s Truth Social post celebrating Robert Mueller’s death and warned people would rejoice at Trump’s own passing "like Mardi Gras in New Orleans."
- The White House responded through spokesperson Davis R. Ingle by pointing to an earlier Trump post that called Charlamagne a "racist sleazebag" and a "low-IQ individual."
- Mueller’s family confirmed he died at 81 after Parkinson’s disease, and he is known for leading the FBI and later the 2016 Russia election probe as special counsel.
- Charlamagne accused Trump of hypocrisy for cheering Mueller’s death after condemning those who celebrated activist Charlie Kirk’s killing, and he said the post further harms Trump’s legacy.
- Coverage split along familiar lines, with Mediaite highlighting Charlamagne’s on-air rebuke and his call for more careful polling coverage, Fox News underscoring the White House pushback and Mueller case history, and Breitbart casting Charlamagne’s remarks as an unhinged rant.
