quote:

Portnoy, an outspoken political commentator himself, talked about the devastating events in Utah during an appearance on Barstool Sports' The Unnamed Show podcast.

And as well as branding the rhetoric of the left 'insane', the Barstool founder and president explained why he believes Trump's polarizing nature contributed to Kirk's death.

'When I say Trump has a huge part in it, I don't necessarily mean he's to blame for it, but he's so divisive... [even just] his face is divisive. People hate him so much,' Portnoy said.

How are we supposed to take this?

Trump exists, so of course his supporters are reviled and hunted?

wtf?

He’s kind of right if you listen to exactly what he’s saying.

People hate him so much


If Trump wasn’t President, do you think they still shoot Charlie? The impotent rage at the thought of them losing the culture wars is part of what’s driving this.

I mean if you’re going to call out a political figure why the calling out all the democrats who have used incendiary language towards the right over the last few years. STFU Dave and stick to pizza.

After 93% negative media coverage, they tried to jail him 4x, financially destroy him, and planned kill him 2x, almost succeeding once, because they disagree with his policies/politics. But he’s the divisive one. Oh, ok.

While a valid point, and hopefully the one Portnoy intended to make... saying Trump has a part in it because, basically, he is viscerally hated by the left is a rather stunning remark to make.

And stupid.

If Trump ceased to exist tomorrow, TPUSA and all that it embodies would still be hated.

He does call them out.

He just points to the fact that so long as Trump breathes air, it is partly why other conservatives are hurt or killed.

I don’t think Trump is a one-off. He’s just very galvanizing to his supporters. He will be replaced by someone who is likely very galvanizing to the same demographics and the Left will try to turn the next person into their view of Trump.

The thing to remember about Portnoy is that he went to and loves Michigan.

Michigan was one of the first schools to adopt the credo that if you’re not a far leftwing fricking whackjob you better keep your mouth fricking shut. It’s basically the Berkeley of the Midwest.

So, basically what he’s saying is that Trump refuses to kowtow to the far left insane fricking nut jobs out there who demand that he keeps his opinions to himself while they’re allowed to spew all of their leftist fricking insanity at will. Therefore, it must be his fault for expressing his opinion which would never have been allowed at dear old Michigan.

Yeah, hail to the fricking insane nut job victors.

.They're already prepping the rhetoric that JD is worse than Trump. As long as they don't have power they will make villains out of those who have it

Basket of deplorables and irredeemables.
- Hillary Clinton

Very fine people on both sides

VA ball field shooting.

Smiling kid Nick Sandmann

Racist Kyle Rittenhouse killed 2 black protesters.

2 attempts on Trump’s life.

Border patrol on horseback whipping poor immigrants

Kids in cages!

Portnoy interjects his name into the news cycle when nobody was thinking “ Bur what does Dave think about this?”

Yes absolutely. It was nothing about Trump. They rightly know that CK was in line to be President. A very effective President. He was more dangerous to them than anyone else they could successfully murder so easily.
