Basketball legend and NBA on TNT analyst Charles Barkley

Barkley apologized this morning after telling a reporter he would hit her during a conversation about which Democratic candidate he supports. 

Alexi McCammond, who is covering the 2020 presidential election for Axios, tweeted about the exchange Tuesday evening.

“Just FYI Charles Barkley told me tonight “I don’t hit women but if I did I would hit you,” and then when I objected to that he told me I “couldn’t take a joke.”

Barkley said in a statement to CBS News that his comment was "inappropriate and unacceptable." "It was an attempted joke that wasn't funny at all," he added. "There's no excuse for it and I apologize."
