Charles Barkley told a female reporter that he don't hit women but if he did he would hit some female reporter.

Evidently he had to apologize and it is being reported that he is being accused of threatening a female reporter.

quote:

Alexi McCammond, a political reporter for Axios, said the Turner Sports analyst told her he would hit her — if he hit women.


quote:

A political reporter has received an apology from Charles Barkley, the Turner Sports commentator and N.B.A. Hall of Famer, after she publicly accused him of making a threatening comment to her.

Barkley was in the same Atlanta-area bar as Alexi McCammond, a reporter for Axios covering the 2020 presidential election, and a number of campaign aides on Tuesday night. A debate between Democratic presidential candidates will be held in Atlanta on Wednesday night.

According to a tweet from McCammond, Barkley told her, “I don’t hit women but if I did I would hit you” after she mentioned that one of his remarks seemed contradictory. She wrote that when she objected to his comment, Barkley said that she “couldn’t take a joke.”

How the hell did he threaten her? If she was a man it would have been a threat, but he said he doesn't hit women... So because she is a woman how can they report this as a threat?

He shouldn't have assumed her gender.

Can he counter-accuse the reporter of being racist? That's the card he needs to play here.

I am sure TNT forced him to apologize because I don't see Barkley being the type to truly be sorry for something he said... But I don't get why people have to apologize every time they say something that someone doesn't like. Is an apology sincere if someone "has" to do it?

she is a piece of shite and has done this type of stuff many times before. always terribly exaggerating or lying about situations. most notably with.... you guessed it ... Trump

Alexi McCammond
@alexi

Today I was reminded of some past insensitive tweets, and I am deeply sorry to anyone I offended. I have since deleted those tweets as they do not reflect my views or who I am today.

and the well deserving backfire begins

So Charles Barkley apologizes for making an obviously distasteful joke and Axios reporter @Alexi doesn’t think he deserves forgiveness. But it’s ok for her to make racist jokes about Asians. Hypocritical and disgusting. Problem with woke/cancel culture, it always boomerangs back.

Why couldn’t @alexi reach out to Charles privately and let him know how she felt instead of trying to put him on blast? Everyone wants that next viral moment, and when you do things in bad faith, well... the world pays you back:

You know you've reached peak wokeness when you go from "mah victimhood" to Twitter auto suggesting "racist" following your name in a span of 7 hours. @alexi

I loved it when Barkley told Dan Patrick that if if he knew that he was going to die he would like Dan to get Barkley and Skip Bayless on the show and Barkley would kill Skip live on tv.
