Charles Barkley Drops Truth Bomb, Says Dems Only Care About Blacks When It's Time to Vote

Just to be clear, Charles Barkley is not a conservative. Nah.

And yet, he’ll call out the radical Democrat Party from time to time for being so absurd.

In a recent interview, the NBA legend made it clear that Dems only care about black people when it comes time for them to vote.

From Daily Wire:

On Wednesday, speaking on Michael Smerconish’s SiriusXM radio show, NBA Hall Of Famer Charles Barkley, in his inimitably blunt style, said Democrats only talk to black Americans when they want their votes.

As Mediaite reported, Barkley was reminiscing about his work with Alabama Sen. Doug Jones when Jones ran against GOP candidate Roy Moore in a special election in 2017.

Barkley noted, “I said ‘Doug, I’m going to support you. I’m going to try to get every black person in Alabama to vote for you.’ And it worked out. We won for the first time in 40 years. But I said, ‘We need to start holding you Democrats accountable’ because they’ve been taking black people’s votes – and they only talk to black people every four years. All of these politicians only talk to black people every four years because they want their vote.

He then said, “Oh, actually, the Republicans don’t, the Democrats do. But when they get elected, they do nothing in the four years in-between.

Barkley is quick to call out people for saying silly things.

A more recent target just so happened to be certain folks in the media.

According to the basketball legend, “jackasses on other networks” need to stop coddling athletes when coaches berate them on the sidelines for doing something wrong.

And Chuck could not be more accurate.

Barkley said, “I was so disappointed to hear all these jackasses on other networks complaining about a coach actually coaching his team. It’s all right for a coach to yell at a player. When did we get to the point where every time a coach yells at a player it becomes a national emergency?
