The ITV show’s anchor was talking about watching the powerful moment on television yesterday as Joe Biden and Kamala Harris were sworn in as president and vice president.
The journalist explained how she felt while watching the inauguration, and her words left Denise in tears.
Charlene said: “And then having Kamala beside him, knowing what happened in that Capitol building 14 days ago, the contrast and that feeling.
“And it has nothing to do with politics. It’s a conversation about the future and hope, I guess.”

When asked if she as emotional watching it, Charlene explained: “I was emotional, because when it comes to it, you know I can talk of it from a Black woman’s perspective, but when you think about all of those stories regarding Black women being erased from history, their opinions often ignored, their experiences day-to-day, this is a woman who you will not be able to ignore.
“For the next four years, you can’t pretend she’s not there, you can’t pretend that her impact isn’t huge, you cannot do that to Kamala.”
