As the Government Shutdown stretched into its 35th day, radio host Charlamagne tha God used his platform to plead with Democratic lawmakers to end the stalemate, arguing that Americans are suffering while political leaders refuse to compromise.
During Monday’s episode of The Breakfast Club, Charlamagne criticized Democrats for rejecting multiple continuing resolution (CR) bills proposed by Republicans — eight in total — that would temporarily fund the government.
Charlamagne Calls for Relief of Government Shutdown
“The healthcare is going to go up anyway because of the ‘big beautiful bill,’” Charlamagne said. “If it’s going up anyway, what’s the point of Democrats taking the stand to keep the government still closed?”
His co-host Mimi Brown agreed, noting that many Americans have already received notices about rising healthcare premiums. Charlamagne added, “At this point, if the premiums have already gone up, if they’re set for a year, at least give the people some relief and get the government back open.”
