Charles Barkley on Democrats: ‘You guys lost because y’all stupid’

Auburn Tigers legend and one of the most powerful voices in sports media Charles Barkley has never been shy about sharing his political opinions.

Barkley has long been a critic of President Donald Trump, but he has always been rational in his opinions. He shared on “The Steam Room” podcast with his NBA on TNT co-host Ernie Johnson that while he voted Democrat in this election — having no “game plan” and totally ignoring real issues is what ultimately lost Democrats all three branches of government.

“We still haven’t solved the immigration problem…never addressed inflation,” Barkley said. “Bringing all these stupid stars out to rally the vote, what was that? I love Beyoncé. That ain’t gonna make me vote a certain type of way…you guys lost because y’all stupid…It’s all our faults for not having a game plan. We’re not having concerts and rallies. People want solutions, they want money in their pocket, they want the border secure.”

Barkley went on to say definitively say that those who are unhappy with the election results need to ‘shut up’ allow Trump to try to do the job to the best of his ability and hope for the best.

“I wish him nothing but the best, but we lost,” he said. “And I just want to say this to the Democrats: I’m an Independent who voted Democratic. Do me this favor, shut the f— up. When you win, you get to say what you want to. When you lose you need to shut the hell up…I don’t think everybody who voted for Trump is racist or whatever. I’m not a fan of the guy, but he’s the president. I’m gonna have to respect the office.”
