Former Auburn basketball star Charles Barkley appeared on stage at Harrah's Lake Tahoe Casino and Resort to make statements in support of Bud Light as a boycott of the beer over its partnership with trans influencer Dylan Mulvaney continues.
Speaking to the crowd, Barkley said, "I'm gonna buy some drinks for y'all, and I'm gonna buy Bud Light." He continued "All you rednecks or assholes that don't wanna drink Bud Light, f--k y'all."

Barkley told the cheering crowd, "You can't cancel me. I ain't worried about getting canceled. Because, let me tell you something, if you fired me, and give me all that money, I'm gonna be playing golf every f--king day."
He finished by saying "As I said last night, if you're gay, God bless you. If you're trans, God bless you. If you have a problem with them, f--ck you!"
