Charlamagne tha God slammed the debate over transgender participation in women's sports, particularly the WNBA , during his "Brilliant Idiots" podcast on Sunday, saying the conversation was "ridiculous."

But I think, I think like a lot of mainstream media, it’s because of lack of viewpoint diversity," Moran said. "That was one of the problems in covering Trump. Nobody had voted for him."
