Reflecting on these statistics, the Breakfast Club host acknowledged that this voting pattern might stem from a reaction against identity-based politics.
“When you say color, you mean like, Black, brown, everything? Oh. Well, I think that, you know, people have different issues that they care about,” he said. “And I think that there’s nobody out there that’s a single-issue voter. I think some of this is a backlash to race and gender and identity politics. But, man, most people, they just care about keeping food on the table and keeping a roof over their head.”
“For whatever reason, Donald Trump speaks to the grievances of the working class in a real way. And I keep telling folks, people forget what you did there, forget what you said, but they’ll never forget how you made them feel,” he added.
The interview followed Charlamagne’s earlier acknowledgment that Democratic politicians might be disconnected from everyday Americans’ concerns.
“The only thing I can pray is Donald Trump gets back in the White House and he’s not looking for revenge, he’s actually looking to unite. You’ve got to be a president for all Americans,” he said.
He advised Democrats against attributing Trump’s success solely to racism or sexism, suggesting instead that economic and border security issues drove voter decisions.
“Democrats are going to be looking for someone to blame. Let me be the first to tell you it’s not just one thing. I personally feel like Donald Trump speaks to people’s grievances better than Democrats do. I know people are going to talk about misinformation and the dumbing down of society, I understand all of that, but you don’t have to be intelligent to know you can’t pay your bills,” he said.
ABC News blows Charlamagne tha God's mind that 33% of voters of color back Donald Trump.
ABC: "Trump got 1 out of every 3 voters of color."
Charlamagne: "No."

“You don’t have to be intelligent to know you can’t afford groceries. People will forget what you did, they will forget what you said, but they will never forget how you made them feel,” he added.
