"I've never been more angry and disgusted at this situation than I am now. This turmoil every single day — the tweeting, the hiring and firing," Barkley told Axelrod.

"We have spent the last year talking about Russia every single day. Now we got Stormy [Daniels], now we got another girl, and I'm sitting here saying, 'When are we actually going to help the people?' " he said.

Barkley went on to accuse the president of doing an "awful" job of appearing to care about Americans from different demographics.

"Do we have some bad Hispanics? Of course, we do. Do we have some bad Muslims? Of course, we do. But I believe the majority of the Muslim people in this country are amazing, hard-working people. The President has done an awful job of trying to be inclusive," Barkley said.

"I think he reached a demographic who just won't look in a mirror and say 'my life sucks because of me,' " he added.
