"There was some backlash earlier this year when I got asked a simple question, do I think that the border is going to be an issue in November? This was in January," Charlamagne told Brian Kilmeade. "I said, yeah… the reason I feel like it's going to be an issue [is] because [for] the first time in my life, people that I know are having conversations with me about what's going on at the border, whether it's… somebody I know who works at a parking garage in New York coming to me in tears talking about… the crime that is in his neighborhood because the gangs that are coming over or… talking to activists in Chicago who are just upset because they feel like… these people are coming over and getting more access to resources than people who've been living on the South Side… homeless… are getting. That's just me listening to people."
"So when I get asked that question and I say yes, all of a sudden I'm on… MSNBC with the headline, ‘Charlamagne tha God is spreading MAGA messaging.’ I'm like, these people aren't MAGA," he continued. "This is just a regular, everyday, working-class person who's coming to me because they know I got a microphone, and they're complaining."
