Radio personality Charlamagne Tha God is taking legal action against Donald Trump, issuing a cease and desist order over a campaign ad that misused his comments to attack Kamala Harris. The ad, which aired during football games, depicted Charlamagne as opposing Harris’ stance on taxpayer-funded gender transition surgeries for transgender prisoners. However, Charlamagne claims the clip was taken out of context, sparking backlash.
In response, Charlamagne didn’t hold back: “Cease and desist been sent. Since when does Trump care about what’s legal!?” The popular radio host demands Trump remove his voice from the ad, which he originally described as “effective” but misleading, particularly when framed against Harris’ broader advocacy for transgender rights.
Harris has consistently supported transgender healthcare access, stating in 2019 that transition treatment is a “medical necessity.” Charlamagne’s legal move highlights the battle over messaging in the high-stakes 2024 presidential race.
