Dave Portnoy, the owner of Barstool Sports, didn’t hold back when he criticized Kamala Harris for her role in seemingly pushing away independent voters.
According to Portnoy’s video, Harris ran a campaign filled with moral superiority and derogatory labels, which he believes were off-putting to many.
Portnoy, a Trump supporter, slammed the Democratic Party for orchestrating what he deems the “worst” election effort he’s witnessed.
“Independents or moderates… the Democrats gave us no choice,” he declared. “That was the worst campaign, and the pure arrogance and moral superiority have driven people away.”

Portnoy argued that the Democratic tactic of portraying Trump as a threat to democracy only ended up rallying more people to vote for him.
“He didn’t just win, he won for fun,” he elaborated, noting Trump’s victories in both the electoral and popular votes, which surpassed his previous run.
He also highlighted the inflammatory rhetoric from Democrats and their supporters, especially in the campaign’s final weeks. Portnoy noted how Trump’s rallies were often compared to Nazi gatherings.
“If you say you’re voting for Trump, suddenly it’s ‘Nazi, you’re Hitler, you’re garbage.’ Enough!” he exclaimed, stressing that the campaign alienated anyone in the middle-ground.
Portnoy also pointed out that Harris’ apparent call for change wasn’t something she was up to accomplishing.
He noted that she failed to differentiate herself from President Joe Biden, referencing her appearance on “The View” where she admitted, “There is not a thing that comes to mind,” when asked about her potential policy divergences from Biden’s.
Portnoy also highlighted Harris’s inability to address pressing issues like inflation, border challenges, and conflicts in the Middle East.
His criticisms extended to the Democratic Party, which he accused of gaslighting by fielding a candidate who “can’t answer any questions” and “didn’t get any votes” in dyring her initial presidential run. “It’s garbage,” he stated plainly.
“The Democrats were the ones saying Joe Biden was mentally fit for two years when he was a vegetable,” Portnoy said. He referenced instances where Biden seemed incapable of finishing speeches or leaving the stage on his own, yet the Democrats kept insisting on his competence.
Portnoy concluded his video by explaining that he voted for Trump because he felt “had no choice.”
“I wouldn’t have voted for [Trump] in the Republican primaries,” he admitted, but added that the Democrats’ actions were “far worse.”
Meanwhile, rapper Cardi B led a wave of hysterical liberal celebrity reactions following Trump’s triumph.

The 32-year-old rapper began with an expletive-filled tirade aimed at Trump supporters as the former president gained a decisive lead, securing his return to the White House.
During a TikTok live session she addressed the Trump supporters flooding her comments, while offering words of encouragement to Harris.
After reading a comment urging her to attend Trump’s inauguration, she retorted, “I swear to god I’m gonna f**k you up, get away from me! I’m sick of you! Burn your f**king hats motherf****r. I’m really sad. I swear to god I’m really sad.”
Expressing her admiration for Harris, Cardi B told her followers, “No matter what, I know that she’s probably emotional right now. I know there’s probably a lot going on in her mind and I know she’s not listening to this, but she will eventually see it.”

She continued, “I just hope she knows no matter what happens tonight, millions of people are proud of her. Women around the world are proud of her. Women of color are proud of her.”
Reflecting on her political leanings earlier in the year, she admitted, “Y’all I know how I felt at the beginning of the f***ing year, I didn’t want to vote for anybody. She changed my mind, I feel like she was very honest and said the things I wanted to hear.”
Cardi B went on to say, “When I look at her face and she was talking to me, I thought she was very genuine and not playing any f***ing games. She had 100 days to do all of this and she woke this nation up. I feel there was a lot of things that went wrong last year and they kept her too much in the background.”
She concluded, “I’m proud of her and I hope she’s proud of herself no matter what happens tonight. This is one of the most unforgettable elections and I love her. I don’t say I love a lot of people, y’all know that. Because I hate everybody.”
