Radio host Charlamagne Tha God argued that former President Obama\u2019s viral critique of his fellow Democrats is old news and that their base has been saying for a decade.<\/p>\n

As the Democratic Party continues to struggle to chart a new course forward, the 44th president offered a tough love message<\/a> to the members of his party at a fundraiser on Friday on how to find their way out of the political wilderness.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I think it\u2019s going to require a little bit less navel-gazing and a little less whining and being in fetal positions,” Obama said during the private event in New Jersey. “And it\u2019s going to require Democrats to just toughen up.”<\/p>\n

“It’s mind-boggling to me when I hear people like President Obama say things that regular everyday people [have] been saying for years,” the radio host said on his “Breakfast Club” radio show.<\/a> “We’ve been saying Democrats were cowards for a decade. We’ve been saying Democrats need to toughen up. And that cowardice is, you know, why we’re in the position that we’re in now.”<\/p>\n

He added that he could provide “countless examples” of Democratic leaders needing to show some backbone.<\/p>\n

“Like, for example, they should have told Biden that he was going to be a one-term president, it wasn’t up to him,” Charlamagne said. “So, it’s just wild to hear President Obama say that now, as if Democrats haven’t been cowards for the past decade.”<\/p>\n

One of his co-hosts balked at Charlamagne, causing him to double down.<\/p>\n

“That\u2019s President Obama\u2019s opinion, too!” he argued.<\/p>\n

When asked what “toughen up”<\/a> means in the realm of politics, the radio host offered more examples.<\/p>\n

“\u2019Toughen up\u2019 looks like, \u2018Hey Biden, you\u2019re going to be a one-term president.’ \u2018Toughen up\u2019 looks like, \u2018Hey, [Ruth Bader Ginsburg]<\/a>, you’re going to step down \u2018cuz you’re too old.\u2019 Like, that’s what toughening up looks like,” Charlamagne said.<\/p>\n

“Toughen up looks like, \u2018Hey, if Donald Trump is the existential threat<\/a> that y’all tell us he is, how come y’all aren’t going after him that way while y’all are in office?” he added. “That’s what toughening up looks like.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
