‘Breakfast Club’ host and best-selling author Charlamagne Tha God is facing backlash after fellow friend/comedian and guest on the show, Lil’ Duval, made offense comments about the transgender community.

A group of protestors crashed Charlamagne’s appearance at Politicon on Sunday, chanting, “We are not a joke.”

Duval joked about the heartbreaking and recent murder of a trans woman, admitting he would act in a similar manner if a transgender woman lied to him. “She dying,” Duval said.
