Charlamagne tha God rips potential Biden preemptive pardons: 'Makes people look guilty'

Radio host Charlamagne Tha God urged President Biden not to issue a preemptive pardon for President-elect Donald Trump's political foes before leaving office, stating the move would imply the recipients are guilty.

The White House announced on Thursday that the president commuted jail sentences for nearly 1,500 people and granted 39 pardons, the largest single-day act of clemency in modern history.

According to recent reporting from Politico, the White House is also currently discussing pardoning prominent Trump critics, including Dr. Anthony Fauci, Sen.-elect Adam Schiff, D-Calif., and former Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo.

The outlet noted that White House counsel Ed Siskel is arranging discussions about the potential pardons with several other senior Biden aides, including chief of staff Jeff Zients, though Biden himself has not been a part of the conversations yet.

Charlamagne responded to those comments on Thursday, again stressing that the president should keep the pardons for non-violent offenders.

"He should be pardoning everybody in federal prison for non-violent weed convictions, okay? He should be pardoning Marilyn Mosby," he said, mentioning the former Baltimore state attorney.

"Those are the pardons he should be working on before he gets his old a-- up out of here," the host said.

"Breakfast Club" co-host DJ Envy defended the idea of pardoning Trump's enemies so that he can't go after them once back in the White House: "We know who Trump is, and we know what Trump's probably going to do."

Charlamagne shot back, "Or it could mean Trump knows something that we don't know and that's why he's going after these people. I just don't understand why you would give somebody a preemptive pardon. Like, it just feels like you saying, 'Okay, I know this person is guilty of something, and Trump may go after them.'"
