Reporter: '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.'
McCammond said Barkley came into the event saying “he loves” former Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick, and once someone from South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg’s campaign came around, “he said he loved Pete.” When she reminded him he previously said he was a fan of Patrick, Barkley made the remark about hitting her.
Alexi McCammond attends day 2 of Politicon 2019 at Music City Center on Oct. 27, 2019 in Nashville, Tenn.Barkley, who serves as an analyst for"Inside the NBA" on TNT, did not immediately return a request for comment on Wednesday.Many expressed support for McCammond, the 2019 recipient of the National Association of Black Journalists‘ Michael J. Feeney Emerging Journalist Award, and condemned Barkley’s remark.
McCammond said she did not wish to be the focus of a story, but that the incident is bigger than her because it touches on domestic violence, which is widespread. “I encourage you to consider how you’d respond if a friend said something similar to what Barkley said tonight,“ she tweeted. “And then challenge yourself to ask the same of yourself if a stranger said that. I hope the answers are the same. Everyone should be held accountable.”
