Portnoy: Trump Played “Huge Part” in Kirk’s Death, Spurs MAGA Fury
Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy faced backlash on social media after a clip from his broadcast appeared to suggest that Donald Trump played a role in the hypothetical assassination of Charlie Kirk. The controversy arose from a misinterpretation of Portnoy’s statement, which, when taken in context, was actually criticizing the divisive political climate and suggesting Trump’s divisiveness contributed to the issue. Portnoy clarified that he wasn’t blaming Trump but highlighting how his presence fuels political tensions, leading to a swift response from MAGA supporters who were quick to condemn the shorter, out-of-context clip. Portnoy responded by sharing the full clip and denouncing the accusations.
