On ABC’s “This Week,” host Jonathan Karl asked the radio host what has surprised him the most on the political front this year.

“I was about to say the lack of respect for the working class. You know, because I always knew that America didn’t give a damn about poor people. America doesn’t care about poor people. America doesn’t really care about people who are just trying to make it every day, just trying to survive,” Charlamagne said.

“But really, man, everything from the DOGE cuts earlier in the year to the government shutdown — like, people really have no idea, politicians really have no idea what their constituents are going through,” he continued.

The radio host said people don’t even talk about the lives the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) “ruined” earlier in the year, before he pivoted to the government shutdown that occurred in the fall.
