<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Barstool founder <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/dave-portnoy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dave Portnoy</a> made it clear he’s furious with Democrats “hijacking” democracy after President Joe Biden announced he was out of the race and then endorsed </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Vice President Kamala Harris for president.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In a post on Monday on </span><a href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/C9uz-hMJPva/?igsh=MWQ1ZGUxMzBkMA%3D%3D"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Instagram</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, Portnoy wrote about how “</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">infuriating” it is to “listen to the left call” former President Donald Trump a “threat to Democracy when they have literally trampled on democracy” by not holding a primary and appointing Harris, comparing it to something that would happen in a “third world country.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I’m a libertarian,” Portnoy said. “I’m very much pro-choice … I’m not religious at all. So, there’s a lot on the Right that I don’t agree with … but I f***ing hate the extreme Left. And they are reminding me why I cannot vote for them.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“And I can not vote for Kamala [Harris],” he added. “Because not even that they are trotting out Kamala now and that they whacked Joe Biden like I said they were gonna. … They hijacked democracy. No other way to say it.”</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“You know Kamala, news flash, ran for president in 2020. You know how many votes she got? Zero.” Portnoy continued, pointing out how disliked Harris was as a candidate. “And I guess she’s never going to have to get a real vote because she’s been hand-picked on purpose by the people who have been running Joe for the past 2-3 years. Now they are going to try to run her. It’s disgusting. It’s a hijacking of democracy.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Portnoy said what really set him off was seeing leftist filmmaker/actor </span><a href="https://x.com/robreiner/status/1815372736551886855"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Rob Reiner’s comment</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> that “Democracy will survive” now that Biden was out of office and Harris was running.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“The Democrats and the Left, the way they s*** on our face and tell us it’s 80 [degrees] and sunny is so infuriating,” the Barstool founder said. “Just admit you hijacked democracy. You hate him [Trump] so much you’re willing to trample on democracy. Steal the vote from the American public. The most, supposedly, important right an American has, the right to vote … you have stolen it from the Democratic Party.”</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“You have said, ‘You don’t get to choose who runs for president, we do, a group of elite, small people are going to handpick and shove down your throat who you vote for,’” he added. “Just admit that. But this ‘Democracy is saved’ and &#8216;America is saved,’ it’s the lowest point for democracy in my lifetime.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Just say you hate f***ing Trump so much you’re willing to do whatever it takes to beat Trump and it doesn’t matter what rights you steal, stomp on … you’re willing to do it,” Portnoy continued, suggesting that if the Left was honest about what they were doing, he might have an ounce of respect for them.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Portnoy previously made </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/barstool-founder-democrats-sent-out-biden-to-debate-because-they-want-to-whack-him"><span style="font-weight: 400;">headlines</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> when he said that </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">it was no accident “Democrats agreed to let Biden debate Trump,&#8221; suggesting it was the party’s way of removing him from the 2024 presidential ticket. </span></p>
