“He’s Not Going to Punch Me”…Black Congressman Takes Down Charles Barkley for Saying He’d “Punch Black Men” Wearing Trump T-Shirts

Charles Barkley is known for his outspoken opinions, especially  when it comes to Trump and his supporters. His recent declaration of physically confronting any Black person sporting a Trump mugshot t-shirt is just another  example of his bold statements.

Despite Barkley's tendency to talk big without  much follow-through, conservatives are pushing back against these divisive and aggressive remarks. Black congressman Wesley Hunt, in particular, bluntly dismissed  Barkley's threats, stating, "He's not going to punch me..."

From Western Journal:

Barkley told his interviewer, “If I see a black person walking around with [the] Trump mug shot, I’m gonna punch them in the face.”

Even when pushed on whether he meant it, the former NBA star doubled down, insisting “I mean that sincerely.”

But there was crucial context missing — as usual — from the liberal network’s “deceitful” coverage of that incident, Hunt said.

“What you don’t know is, sitting over President Trump’s left shoulder, during that moment, was me,” Hunt told Johnson.

“I was sitting right behind him during a 2-hour speech that was given in front of over 300 black conservatives. And if you put that in the context of which he said that, it was absolutely hilarious.”
