Charlamagne Tha God challenged CNN anchor Anderson Cooper over how the network covers “fascist” Donald Trump compared to Kamala Harris in an explosive live TV face-off on Thursday.

“I feel like I heard more on this network about ‘Is Kamala Harris Black?’ than I do about, you know, Donald Trump being a fascist,” the radio host told Cooper.

“Honestly, that’s bullshit; I’m sorry,” replied Cooper, who noted that he’s a “huge fan” of Charlamagne. “To say that we’re sitting around talk — discussing ‘Is Kamala Harris Black?’ like —.”

“Oh, I’ve seen that. I’ve seen those roundtable discussions a lot. Now that’s bullshit, Anderson, for you to say that y’all don’t have those conversations,” said Charlamagne of CNN.

Cooper noted that he’s never asked if Harris is Black.

“I’m sure we have had nutty people or people who have strongly-held beliefs who I may disagree with who somewhere on some panel have said something,” he said.

The network covered Trump’s suggestion that the vice president wasn’t Black when Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.), in a trainwreck CNN panel performance, dodged a yes or no question on the topic from host Abby Phillip.

Charlamagne’s comments come after Harris slammed Trump for being a “fascist” following reports that the GOP nominee praised Adolf Hitler per his former chief-of-staff John Kelly.

Cooper later said he believes it’s important to have people with different views on his program willing to have a “legitimate conversation.”

Charlamagne went on to claim that “no network” has had an “honest conversation” about Trump since 2016 before hitting back at talk of a double standard between the GOP nominee and Harris.

“But it’s always a double standard with Trump whether it’s with Hillary, whether it’s against Biden,” he said. “Now, with Kamala. We talk about him being a threat to democracy, but we don’t treat him like one.”
