NEW YORK, Dec. 11 (UPI) -- NBA on TNT has a crew of large former players with even bigger personalities.

So it was no surprise Thursday, when Charles Barkley went off script to comment on presidential candidate Donald Trump and his supporters.

"He started out by insulting Hispanics...now to lump all the Muslims together, that's even more insulting," Barkley said. "This is the United States of America, this is the greatest place in the world. Do we have issues? Of course we have issues. But to try to divide and conquer, which is what the Republicans always try to do, is just sad."

"Then you have these losers who love that, because they're afraid to look in the mirror and see why their life sucks. So they have to blame other people. Your life sucks because of you, not because of Hispanics."(continued)

"The establishment and their media whores are coming out of the woodwork to throw feces at Trump nonstop"

That's a rather nice way to say that they are "Chimping Out".

I won’t know what to think until I hear from Louis Alcindor.

E tu, Barky?

Obviously the network needs pressure applied, because he should be fired, period.

Another The Constitution is a suicide pact believer as long as he’s protected by his gated community and body guards. Guess it’s a Rich Privilege thing.

[Heart-Rest]

You can plainly see the clarity and incisive thinking reflected in his sober eyes...

[W.]

Yeah, and they’re not even black! [Or at least for the most part!]

Barkely has an IQ of 19.

And to think that this drunken fool once called himself a Republican and expressed a desire to someday be governor of our fine state. lol...

[luvbach1]

Charles Barkley, along with Bill Cosby and others on the left, somehow gained a reputation as conservatives. I guess compared to communists they are.

[VerySadAmerican]

If there are more terrorist attacks I have a list of people I hope see it up close and personal.

[Bernard]

So they have to blame other people. Your life sucks because of you, not because of Hispanics

Has Charles Barkley ever said anything like that to black kids in the ghetto, or has his inspirational rhetoric been limited to "buy my sneakers"?

[exnavy]

His iq is same as shoe size.

[Jim from C-Town]

Charles Barkley is a stupid ridiculous drunken bar fighting lout. He is almost as stupid as he is fat. Just an ignorant pituitary case who stumbled his fat ass through the NBA. He has been arrested numerous times for Battery, Public Drunkenness and DUI. Here is ONE of his Cleveland Mug Shots.

He must have been wearing 4” heels in that pic.

Charles, tell us about how great life is when you drive drunk and serve a jail sentence.

Trump didn’t insult Hispanics; if anything he insulted Mexicans, but even then he said that there were good people. He was talking about rapists, drug dealers, etc. coming across the border, and everyone knows that’s what he meant.

And with muslims, how could they not hear that he’s talking about a moratorium, a temporary thing, until Congress gets its act together so we can weed out the harmful ones. Again, his focus is on those who would hurt our country, and only a dishonest person would say otherwise.

Sir Charles’ claim to fame was as a friend/cohort of Jordan.

Wasn’t Barkley kicked off television recently for fighting with two prostitutes over money?
