(CNN) Former NBA star Charles Barkley weighed in on the Alabama Senate race Saturday, saying embattled Republican candidate Roy Moore should be disqualified from the race because of his association with former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon. "I mean Roy Moore is running with Steve Bannon as his right-hand man, who is a white separatist," Barkley said, referring to Bannon's support among the so-called alt-right movement . "I'm not even get into the women stuff, but how can you be a white separatist and represent all the constituents in your state? Roy Moore to me, when he brought in Steve Bannon, should have been disqualified." Barkley, who made the remarks to reporters before the Alabama-Auburn football game, added that the backing from Bannon should have "disqualified Roy Moore way before this women stuff came up."
