Dave Portnoy Slams Democrats for "Hijacking" Democracy, Setting Biden Up to Fail

Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy accuses Democrats of manipulating the democratic process and undermining Biden's chances, leading to his withdrawal from the 2024 presidential race. Portnoy argues that the party's endorsement of Kamala Harris without a democratic vote is a testament to their disregard for true democracy.

Barstool Sports CEO Dave Portnoy has launched a scathing attack on the Democratic Party, accusing them of "hijacking" democracy and setting President Biden up to fail in the 2024 presidential race. Portnoy argues that the Democrats' decision to drop Biden and endorse Kamala Harris without a democratic vote is evidence of their willingness to trample on American rights in order to achieve their political goals.

In a video on his social media platform, Portnoy slammed the Democratic Party for hiding Biden's age-related issues and attempting to handpick his replacement. He pointed to the waves of defections from Democratic lawmakers who implored Biden to withdraw after his widely criticized performance in the presidential debate as evidence of the party's growing frustration with his leadership.

Portnoy expressed outrage at the Democrats' decision to back Kamala Harris as the new candidate, despite her poor performance in the 2020 primaries. He argued that Harris is an unpopular figure who would not have made it through the primary process without the party's intervention.

Beyond the specific case of Biden's withdrawal and Harris's endorsement, Portnoy took aim at the rhetoric of liberal celebrities like actor Rob Reiner, who claimed that "democracy will survive" under Harris's leadership. Portnoy argued that it is hypocritical to celebrate the preservation of democracy when a candidate has been chosen without a democratic vote.

Portnoy accused the Democrats of being willing to trample on the fundamental right to vote in order to defeat former President Donald Trump. He argued that the party's leaders have stolen the right to choose the Democratic nominee from the American public, a grave assault on the democratic process.

Portnoy expressed his disgust at the Democrats' willingness to embrace undemocratic means to achieve their political objectives. He argued that they should be honest about their intentions and admit that they are willing to sacrifice democracy to defeat Trump.

Portnoy concluded his video by saying that he has been told to stay away from political commentary and stop such rhetoric, but he argued that none of his critics have actually proven his claims wrong. He challenged anyone to explain how his statements are inaccurate and offered to reward them with a boat and a trip as his captain.

Portnoy's comments have sparked a heated debate on social media, with some agreeing with his assessment and others accusing him of being a right-wing provocateur. The controversy highlights the growing divide between the left and right in American politics and the challenges facing the Democratic Party in the wake of Biden's withdrawal.
