Charles Barkley Says He's 'Gonna Punch' Black People Who Wear A Certain Trump Item
HuffPost
"I mean that sincerely," the basketball Hall of Famer said of his threat.
Charles Barkley said he will punch any Black person wearing a Donald Trump mugshot T-shirt, prompting cohost Gayle King to try to push Barkley into walking back the remark. It didn’t work. (Watch the video below.)
On a Saturday night airing of “King Charles” on CNN, the two watched a clip of Trump bragging about Black supporters who have “embraced” the shirts, which bear Trump’s booking photo in Georgia over his efforts to overturn the 2020 election.
“When you heard that, what did you think?” Gayle asked the basketball Hall of Famer.
“First of all, I’m just going to say this: If I see a Black person walking around with Trump mugshot, I’m gonna punch him in the face,” Barkley replied.
“Charles, you really can’t say that, ’cause, A, you don’t mean that,” King shot back.
