Charles Barkley slammed Donald Trump selling t-shirts with his mug shot on his CNN show with Gayle King.
“When I did the mug shot in Atlanta, that mug shot is No. 1,” Trump said at a rally in South Carolina last week. “You know who embraced it more than anyone else? The Black population.”
Gayle King asked Barkely how he feels about Trump’s merch and he had a very strong reaction to it.
“First of all, I’m just gonna say this: if I see a Black person walking around with Trump’s mugshot, I’m [gonna] punch him in the face,” he said.

Barkley says he is willing to do jail time.
“I will bail myself out and go celebrate,” Barkley told King. “If I was at that conference I would have got up and walked out. That was an insult to all Black people. To compare Black history, when we’ve been discriminated against, to his plight—first of all, he’s a billionaire, and they’re prosecuting him for stuff he did wrong. … Well, some of the stuff is true. They did storm the Capitol, they did say that the election was stolen. Those aren’t lies, Gayle.
