‘Just a Loser or a Jack*ss’: Charles Barkley Shreds Anyone On The Right Blasting Taylor Swift In Epic Takedown With Bob Costas

Charles Barkley and Bob Costas took turns shredding the right-wing conspiracy theories involving Taylor Swift and President Joe Biden.

Since Swift has gone public with her relationship with Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, an NFL media frenzy has centered around the couple. Somehow, that evolved into a number of conspiracy theories — primarily from the right — labeling Swift as a tool for Democrats to help Biden win the presidential election in November. Although Swift did endorse President Joe Biden ahead of the 2020 election, she has not done the same this time around.

On Wednesday night’s episode of King Charles, Gayle King and Barkley were joined by legendary sports announcer Bob Costas. When the discussion got to the negative attention surrounding Swift, Barkley and Costas were quick to start roasting anyone subscribing to the absurd theories.

“I’m gonna look right in that camera,” Barkley said as he looked directly into one of the cameras on set. “If you’re screaming at Taylor Swift saying she ruined [football], you’re just a loser. You’re just a loser or a jackass. You can be A or B.”

Costas called out the apparent hypocrisy in the coverage of Swift and her past endorsement of Biden. He believes it’s only a big deal because she endorsed a Democrat.

“All of a sudden, because they don’t like something about Taylor Swift,” Costas said, “either they don’t like the Chiefs or they’ve inferred Taylor Swift might not be a ‘Trumper,’ then they’re annoyed by Taylor Swift. I can guarantee you all this news on Fox News would not happening if she was wearing a MAGA hat. They would love it.”
