Sixers and Suns legend Charles Barkley didn’t support Donald Trump, but he details why the president-elect won so convincingly over communist Kamala Harris.
“I wish him nothing but the best, but we lost,” Barkley said. “And I just want to say this to the Democrats, I’m an Independent who voted Democratic. Do me this favor, shut the f*** up! When you win you get to say what you want to, when you lose you need to shut the hell up.”
Barkley went on to dismiss Democrats making excuses or blaming President Joe Biden for not exiting the race earlier after Trump won the election.
“We lost because we had no game plan,” Barkley ranted. “We still haven’t solved the immigration problem … never addressed inflation. Bringing all these stupid stars out to rally the vote, what was that? I love Beyoncé.
“That ain’t gonna make me vote a certain type of way … you guys lost because y’all stupid. Come up with solutions. I don’t think everybody who voted for Trump is racist or whatever. I’m not a fan of the guy, but he’s the president, I’m gonna have to respect the office.
“Oh, another thing. The next one of you fools, idiots and jack***es send me an article about Bruce Pearl supporting Trump, I’m gonna punch you in your face. Bruce Pearl can vote for who he wants to. Bruce Pearl got two jobs, win basketball games and graduate players,” Barkley continued.
“People can vote for who they want to. I voted for Kamala. But like I said, we didn’t win … it’s all our faults for not having a game plan. We’re not having concerts and rallies. People want solutions, they want money in their pocket, they want the border secure.”
