Charles Barkley, the former NBA star, is back in the news for speaking truth to power. In a recent broadcast of TNT’s “Inside the NBA,” Barkley made a joke that went straight to the heart of the matter. When asked about whether fans should be allowed to vote for the All Star teams, he quipped “We let the fans vote. Look what happened last time they got to vote for president.”
This bold and hilarious statement is reminiscent of the famous Churchill quote, “the best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter.” Given the current state of the country, Churchill sure would have said that if he were alive today!
Barkley’s co-host, Adam Lefkoe, was momentarily stunned but quickly recovered, awkwardly chuckling and trying to steer the conversation back to the upcoming game. However, both Barkley and Shaquel O’Neill continued to laugh, making it clear that the joke was on point.
Some viewers thought that Barkley was referring to President Biden and was just trying to cover his tracks for fear of being canceled by the left. But Barkley later clarified that he was actually referring to the previous election, where voters chose President Trump.
Barkley’s fearless and humorous approach is a breath of fresh air in a world where cancel culture dominates. He’s not afraid to speak his mind and take on the establishment. In fact, during the aftermath of George Floyd’s death, Barkley hammered sports for becoming too political, arguing that sports should be a place where fans can escape reality.
He’s right, of course. Sports should be a place where fans can forget about their problems and enjoy the competition. But unfortunately, the Democrats and the woke left have made it their mission to politicize everything, even our sports.
Barkley’s comments are a reminder that not all athletes have been bought and paid for by the Democrats. There are still a few who stand up for what’s right and aren’t afraid to take on the establishment.
In conclusion, Charles Barkley’s hilarious jab at Joe Biden is a testament to his courage and his unwavering commitment to speaking truth to power. He’s a true conservative hero and a shining example of what it means to be a patriotic American.
