Dave Portnoy says that Democrat would vote if the stock market continues to decrease

Dave Portnoy, the founder and owner of the Barstool Sports media giant, said he would consider voting for the Democrats in the mid -period elections if the stock market continues to decrease.

“I am not someone who would vote strictly based on Republicans or Democrats,” Portnoy told Dana Bash in an interview on Wednesday. “I vote about the people who run, how I think they talk to me, the problems that are important to me. I will vote how I feel it is the best interest of what I think.”

Portnoy, who has been a vocal defender of Donald Trump and even attended his inauguration, spoke with Bash about his openness since the stock market has fallen after Trump said he would implement tariffs in almost all countries. Portnoy said he had lost $ 20 million in cryptography and shares.

Portnoy admitted in the interview that Trump did his presidential campaign in the implementation of tariffs, so they are not a surprise for Portnoy, but said that Trump cannot pretend that the stock market is not an “important problem”, and if it remains “tanking”, the United States will have an “economic collapse” in the future.

“For those I voted and time will endure,” Portnoy said. “He is playing a high -risk poker game, and if it is great, it will be a great movement and one of the great things he has done. If not, I think the voters will speak in the middle of the marsh.”

Barstool Sports has been described as the “Bible Bible”, and NBC News wrote that Portnoy understands the “male demographic elusive 18 to 35 years.” Portnoy told Bash that his sports audience and bar is interested in the stock market as it is, but does not believe that demography is “jumping the ship at this time.” He added that the left is “much more intolerant” on his part than the right, and does not believe that people like him have a place in the Democratic Party.

Portnoy said people call him racist and sexist on social networks all the time, and there is nothing to add to that. “In an article by Business Insider, several women have accused him of alleged sexual assault. Portnoy said that sex was consensual and that the article was a” success piece. “Later he demanded the publication, but a judge dismissed the lawsuit.

In a 2010 publication, Portnoy wrote in Barstool Sports, “[E]Come even though Toleo rape if you are size 6 and you are using tight jeans that you deserve to be raped, right? And in 2012, I was standing in the statement.

In 2020, Portnoy said it was “incanate” after the videos resurfaced from him using word N.

Last month, Portnoy spoke against the Trump administration and said that National Security Advisor Michael Waltz should have lost his job after it was revealed that the Atlantic chief editor was added inadvertently to a group chat with the national security team while discussing war plans.

“Trump, you can love Michael Waltz, you can love Pete Hegesh, you can love these guys, someone has to fall,” Portnoy said in a video posted on his social networks. “For me, it is Michael Waltz. He is the one who added it to this conversation. But you cannot have the upper part of the best security people in the United States with the most sensitive information in the world that adds random editors from a magazine that hates Trump’s guts to a group chat that talks about an attack before it occurs in a terrorist group.”

Portnoy said Trump has not contacted him.

The White House did not immediately respond to News themezone’s request for comments.
