Dave Portnoy, founder of Barstool Sports, criticized the moderators of the recent debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, claiming Trump faced a “tag team match.” Portnoy took to social media, expressing his frustration over what he saw as biased moderation. He felt that ABC’s moderators, David Muir and Linsey Davis, were much harder on Trump than on Harris.
Portnoy specifically called out Harris for dodging a question about the U.S. economy under Biden. He also criticized the moderators for not pressing Harris to clarify if she had ever met Russian President Vladimir Putin, following Trump’s accusation during the debate.
Portnoy shared his thoughts throughout the debate, voicing disappointment over Harris’s answers and the moderators’ leniency. He also confirmed on Fox Business that he plans to vote for Trump in the upcoming election, despite not considering himself a strong Trump supporter.
Additionally, Portnoy discussed Taylor Swift’s endorsement of Harris, stating there was no “upside” for her involvement in politics. He expressed surprise at her decision to step into the political arena.
Portnoy’s critiques and endorsement highlight the ongoing debate surrounding media bias and the role of celebrity influence in politics.
