*Well, well, well, folks, hold onto your hats for this one! ex-NBA star and current NBA TV analyst Charles Barkley dropped a mini bombshell Wednesday night when he informed Nikki Haley that he was just itching to cast his vote her way – until she made the bold declaration that America is as racially innocent as a newborn lamb.
“I was dying to vote for you,” bemoaned Barkley. “And that hurt me.”
The drama unfolded as the former South Carolina Governor and self-styled 2024 Republican presidential contender found herself in the hot seat, facing a merciless grilling from none other than Gayle King and Barkley on their “King Charles” show on CNN. Their target? Haley’s audacious assertion that the good ol’ U.S. of A. isn’t a breeding ground for racism.
“America has never been a racist country,” is the exact quote that came out of Haley’s mouth last month, King reminded her.
Haley’s claim didn’t just raise eyebrows; it launched a full-blown debate that peeled back the layers of America’s racial landscape. And let’s just say, it was anything but a Sunday picnic. The back-and-forth delved into the murky depths of systemic racism, leaving Haley to defend her position under the unrelenting glare of public scrutiny.
With Barkley’s biting remark echoing in the air, it’s clear that Haley’s stance struck a nerve – and not the kind you want to hit if you’re aiming for the White House. In a nation where racial tensions simmer beneath the surface, Haley’s assertion sparked more than just a few raised eyebrows.
Check out the back-and-forth via the video above.
