Kudos to Charles Barkley

[Independent thinker]

As usual, you left out the term ILLEGAL

To the left there are no illegal immigrants. They are all just immigrants, no difference between them.

Just like women being able to have penises.

There will be more people speaking out, unscripted and in front of millions, in the future, as civil rights abuses continue. Not at all surprised that someone with a past like Bruce Pearl is a Trump supporter. It fits.

Charles is so good, and so popular, CBS would not risk firing him, the backlash would be too much for this newly minted MAGA network.

NBA legend Charles Barkley bravely risks his job at CBS Sports by condemning Trump's brutal treatment of immigrants as a "travesty and disgrace" on air.

The MAGA corporate overlords are seething right now...

"I want to be very careful with my words right now. Okay. Because this is a really touchy subject for me. I love that kid and his family," Barkley began, referring college basketball star, Alex Karaban, who is the child of immigrants.

"But the way some of these other immigrants are getting treated in our country right now is a travesty and a disgrace. I think there's a difference between amazing immigrants and criminal immigrants," he said.

As has been well-documented in countless news publications, Trump's promise to focus solely on violent criminals was a lie. Instead, his masked ICE thugs have gone after innocent families and hard-working members of our communities in order to inflate their deportation numbers and appease his white nationalist base.

"And I think what's going on in our country, what we're doing to some of these amazing immigrants is really unfortunate and it's really sad," Barkley continued. "And that's a great immigrant story. We have a lot of great immigrant stories out there. These stories need to be told."

"But some of the stuff that's happening to immigrants in our country right now is really unfortunate and it's really unfair," he continued, "But immigrants built this country and we should admire them and respect them."

Barkley made his courageous remarks while sharing the stage with hardcore Trump supporter Bruce Pearl, a former Auburn coach. Pearl is so pro-MAGA that he has even voiced support for Trump's Iran War. Barkley knew who was in the studio with him and still he chose to speak out.

On top of that, CBS Sports is owned by Paramount Skydance which is run by MAGA fanatic David Ellison, the same David Ellison who installed Bari Weiss at CBS News to tilt its coverage in a more pro-Trump, pro-Israel direction. By speaking out like this in honest, compassionate terms, Barkley was putting his job on the line. He should be commended for his bravery!

Like the way you loons treated the immigrants from Africa?

Barkley is a loudmouth buffoon

No one takes him seriously

What part of what Barkley said qualifies as "Loudmouth" and "Buffoon."

"I want to be very careful with my words right now. Okay. Because this is a really touchy subject for me. I love that kid and his family," Barkley began, referring college basketball star, Alex Karaban, who is the child of immigrants.

"Autistic"?

Poor choice of words, I might agree. But mowt autistic people get locked into routines and have a difficult time deviating even when it's necessary. I think that's what he was referring to.

I know what he was trying to say, but it's not cool to use people probably working hard to deal with a condition or situation like some kind of rhetorical joke. It's the same reason I don't call someone I disagree with a "retard." There are people in the world who really are mentally retarded, and they are human beings not a punchline.

Pet peeve

Oh please, CBS is a Left Wing Trump Hating Network. Barkley is no more brave than Stephen Colbert on CBS late night spewing his hatred for Donald Trump.

He spoke softly that time

But his normal schtick is loud and pushy
