Charlamagne Tha God said he’s not happy with former President Barack Obama after Obama didn’t endorse Vice President Kamala Harris in his statement after President Joe Biden announced he was stepping out of the race.

During the radio host’s show on Monday on “The Breakfast Club,” he and political commentator Angela Rye agreed that Obama’s on the “wrong side of history” after he declined on Sunday to come out and endorse Harris for the Democratic Presidential nominee.

“I don’t want to hear nothing from former President Obama and then about a process or an open primary because y’all didn’t care about primaries a year ago when people were calling for them against Biden,” the radio host said. “So, don’t start caring about primaries now.”

“Yeah, I don’t disagree with that at all,” Rye replied. “Actually, like I said, I was really frustrated with President Obama. We’ve talked about this before, but when I was the executive director of the Congressional Black Caucus, any time we were on the other side of President Obama, it was a real frustrating moment.”

“What I’m telling you is we had a lot of issues … with the Obama administration, and it was really frustrating when folks didn’t see that we were trying to represent the best interests of black folks,” she added. “And when we clashed with that administration, folks dragged us. We used to get hate mail and death threats, you know, for being on the other side of President Obama.”

“But sometimes he’s on the wrong side of history, and I think yesterday was one of them,” Rye continued.

“I agree,” Charlamagne replied.

Last year, the radio host made headlines after he begged Biden not to run for a second term, saying that it could be the “ultimate Christmas gift” to America.

In December on “The Daily Show,” Charlamagne guest hosted and urged the president to step away from the 2024 race so he said the party can beat former President Donald Trump.

“This is Biden’s ego talking, okay,” the radio host told the audience. “If you think there are other people who can beat him [Trump], step aside. I know you think you’ve got this in the bag … but the polls say otherwise.”

“I want Biden stepping in to beat Trump the way I want him to defend me at a bar fight,” he added. “I appreciate you caring, but I don’t like our chances.”
