Talk host Rush Limbaugh welcomed Charlamagne tha God, host of "The Breakfast Club" to discuss the death of George Floyd, prompting a debate that involved the black host calling Limbaugh "delusional" for saying white privilege doesn't exist.
This was Limbaugh's first appearance on "The Breakfast Club," a pre-recorded interview that aired Monday, comes after the conservative radio host called Floyd's death sickening and slammed the three other officers on the scene for not intervening.
Limbaugh said on Monday's show, "What happened to George Floyd sickened me. I wanted to reach out and tell you all this. I wanted to make sure you have no doubt, and I’m not the only American who feels that way, the senselessness of it.”
Charlamagne challenged Limbaugh, “How are you going to going to use your privilege as a white male to combat this prejudice? You got a direct line to Donald Trump," referring to Trump's awarding of the Medal of Freedom to Limbaugh at the State of the Union address in February.
Limbaugh replied, “Now wait a minute, I don’t buy into the notion of white privilege."
Charlamagne tha God quickly responded, “You’re being delusional."
Limbaugh argued, “That is a liberal political construct right along the lines of political correctness. It’s designed to intimidate and get people to shut up and admit they are guilty for doing things they haven’t done," "I don’t have any white privilege.”
