The Left has clearly gone off the rails. Their Trump Derangement Syndrome knows no bounds.
And CNN pushed violence against Trump supporters in this video gone viral.
Charles Barkley, a retired NBA great, stated this week that he will smack black Trump fans in the face if he sees them “walking around with a Trump mugshot.”
Barkley made the surprising comments on his new CNN show with Gayle King, in response to former President Donald Trump’s remarks about black Americans increasingly embracing him, even by putting his mugshot on t-shirts.
“You know who embraced more than anybody else? The black population,” Trump said, according to Fox News. “It’s incredible. You see black people walking around with my mugshot – you know they do shirts.”
Trump went on to say that some of his black fans claim he was being discriminated against.
King aired a video of Trump’s words, prompting a lengthy sigh from Barkley.
“First of all, I’m just gonna say this: If I see a black person walking around with a Trump mugshot, I’m gonna punch him in the face,” the NBA player added.
Attempting to moderate Barkley’s remarks, King said, “You don’t mean that.”
“Oh, I mean that sincerely,” Barkley replied, adding that if he is charged with violence, he will bail himself out “and go celebrate.”
“First of all, if I was at that [conference], I would’ve got up and walked out,” he continued.
“That was an insult to all black people. To compare black history, where we’ve been discriminated against, to his plight.”
“It’s not a fair comparison,” Barkley said, asserting that Trump is guilty of the civil and criminal crimes he’s been charged with.
“He’s a billionaire, he’s had a great life, he’s been President of the United States. To insult black people who have been discriminated against all these years and put them in the same category, I was just offended.”

Barkley is known for being outspoken, and he has frequently criticized the political Left. More recently, however, the athlete has targeted Middle America and Trump.
Over the summer, for example, Barkley criticized conservatives for boycotting Bud Light due to the beer company’s strange collaboration with transgender activist Dylan Mulvaney.
“I’m gonna buy some drinks for y’all, and I’m gonna buy Bud Light,” Barkley stated at the time.
“Hey, let me tell you something. All you rednecks or a**holes who don’t want to drink Bud Light, f*** y’all. Hey, y’all can’t cancel me!”
“Hey, I ain’t worried about getting canceled because let me tell you something, if y’all fire me and gimme all that money, I’m gonna be playing golf every f***ing day,” he added.
“So listen, as I said last night, if you’re gay, God bless you. If you’re trans, God bless you. And if you have a problem with them – f*** you.”
