Radio host Charlamagne Tha God and comedian Andrew Schulz accused Democrats of pretending to be morally upright in order to deflect from their corruption during a Friday episode of their podcast.
Schulz interviewed independent Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders on a Monday episode of his “Flagrant” podcast. On “The Brilliant Idiots,” the comedian said that he had wanted to ask Sanders whether the distinction between Democrats and Republicans was that both are influenced by special interests like big pharma and wealthy corporations, but only the Democrats support causes like transgender bathroom policies.
“Is that the only difference?” Schulz asked.
“No, I think the difference is Democrats act like they’re something they’re not,” Charlamagne replied.
Schulz said Americans are often labeled “some fucking right-wing maniac” when they “see through” the inconsistency.
“But that’s why they virtue signal so much,” Charlamagne said. “They virtue signal to distract you from the fact: ‘We’re doing the same shit we’re just doing it … covertly.’”
“So you’re just using those communities that you say you care about? You’re using those communities that you say you care about as a smoke screen so you can keep on taking the same money from big pharma, keep on taking the same money from the healthcare companies, keep on taking the same money from the military companies. Like, stop the bullshit,” Schulz added. “The internet is available to people. We can Google things. You can’t lie like you could before with the protection of a corporate media. It’s seen through. You have to have a different mode that you can play.”

Sanders, on “Flagrant,” agreed with Schulz’s co-host Akaash Singh that the Democratic Party is “a threat to democracy” based on its primary presidential process, saying that it is the reason he is “proud to be an independent.”
Former Obama chief of staff Rahm Emanuel downplayed the importance of transgender issues on an April episode of the “I’ve Had It” podcast, criticizing the Democratic Party for focusing on “bathroom” issues at the expense of “kitchen table” and “family room” issues.
Democratic lawmakers, including those representing congressional districts President Donald Trump secured in November, have persisted in championing left-wing stances on transgender issues despite their unpopularity among Americans.

Democratic strategist James Carville on May 13 also pushed his party to cease using a slew of left-wing words and phrases he said are ineffective, confusing or alienating to voters. For instance, he advised against saying “LBGQT+.”
“I wouldn’t even use the ‘LBGQT+’ or whatever it is. I just call people gay, the lesbian or trans … Just use the word that is most commonly used among people as they talk to each other,” he said, adding that people are “trying to signal that there’s something wrong with the term or you’re just trying to show people how smart you are.”
