Dave Portnoy responds after hinting at NYC mayoral run against Mamdani
(www.usatoday.com)
Lol
Nope, won't happen. NYC resident love Mamdani too much...
Republicans are terrified at what he's doing actually working...because it will provide a model for other cities around the country...
Oh I wonder why he might not like Mamdani.
Who knew a genocidal racist gambling addict rapist revenge pornographer could have an ego big enough that he thinks NYC cares about him more than the most popular Mayor since 9/11.
Idk, he seems to meet the standards for an average Republican politician.
😂 Dave fucking portnoy? He’s a fucking joke. He probably couldn’t even explain how to work in government to a 5 year old.
I say he can't be mayor. What a piece of shit.
Portnoy has previously said he's disliked the mayor, claiming last year that he had thought about taking Barstool's office out of NYC if Mamdani won the election (which he ultimately did.)
"We have all those people who that (messes) up their life just because I hate the guy," he said at the time. "It's a catch-22. I may close the New York office ... because I can't stand the thought of Mamdani running ... New York City."
I watched the video and it really opened up my eyes to the psychology that underlies politics. Identity is so important to people, and people get really, really upset when someone they don't share an identity with gets put into a position of power and authority over them. Portnoy feels about Mamdani the way I feel about Trump. I hate Trump, and I can't stand the thought of him running the Federal government.
