The endorsement at least some people have been waiting for in the race for Alabama's U.S. Senate seat has arrived, with NBA great and former Auburn basketball player Charles Barkley telling NBC News, "if I lived here, I'd vote for Doug Jones."
Barkley -- asked to weigh in on politics while in Auburn for the unveiling of a statue of him outside Auburn's basketball arena on the day of the annual Iron Bowl clash with Alabama in football -- told NBC's Vaughan Hillyard that Republican nominee Roy Moore should have been "disqualified" from the race long before recent allegations surfaced that he sexually assaulted teenage girls and behaved inappropriately around others in the 1970s.
"Everybody's going crazy over these sexual allegations, Roy Moore to me, when he brought in Steve Bannon should have been disqualified," Barkley said. "I don't understand. How can you have a guy who's running with a white separatist running for a political office?
"We've got a lot of black people in this state who are amazing people but to run a campaign with a guy as your chief advocate who is a white nationalist or white separatist, that should have disqualified Roy Moore way before this women stuff came up."

Does anyone care what Charles Says?
Son, you need to stick with basketball...
Hey, Charles Barkley: Steve Bannon is not a white separatist. Repeat that 100 times and then think it over again.
Funny Charles isnt too concerned about black separatists.
I roomed with over the summer in the early 90s. He went to a historically black college.
Steve Bannon is NOT a white nationalist, he is a patriotic , conservative, US citizen. He has called out the black natonalists who have tried like Obama tio divide America via Alynsky tactics and race baiting.
Now that the sexual allegations have failed to knock Moore out of the race, now the race baiting begins to alienate the black voters of Alabama.
You won’t fool Alabama voters with race baiting. Al Sharpton can work that in NYC and LA but it won’t work in Alabama.
The dems are getting more and more desperate. I hope they do not go for their guns, there won’t be a dem left alive in Alabama.
GET LOST!!!!!!!
Worthless leftist nonsense.
Very sorry Bannon left. Think Trump should bring him back.
The bulk of pervs and racist seem to be associated with the Democratic party.
TOTAL LIES, Charles..... Bannon is certainly no “white separatist” nor is he a “white nationalist” except in the most trivial sense that he is a US nationalist who happens to be “white”..... but it is all the race-baiting a-holes of the liberal MSM and Democrats/RINOs who try to turn common sense positions into “white supremacy” etc. — that is all dishonest propaganda.
Who cares?
Dumb, dumb, dumb.
Is this the guy who bounced a ball for a living?
Charles went to auburn. Not a HBC.
Wasnt talking about Charles. I roomed with a guy from an HBC.
"Everybody's going crazy over these sexual allegations, Roy Moore to me, when he brought in Steve Bannon should have been disqualified," Barkley said. "I don't understand. How can you have a guy who's running with a white separatist running for a political office?"W. T. F.
charles is angry because he never ran for governor
“disqualified” from the race long before recent allegations
Isn’t this Jerkoff Barclay still hanging out at the Park on the weekend filming the little boys?
