  1. From the article: Barstool Sports’ Dave Portnoy has suggested that President Trump must foot some of the blame for the assassination of Charlie Kirk.

    MAGA leaders have been trying to blame left-wing ideology as the cause of the political violence, but Portnoy insisted that Trump’s role in aggravating divisiveness cannot be overlooked.

    Kirk, a divisive right-wing activist, 31, was shot from a distance by an assailant who is still at large, as he spoke at Utah Valley University in Orem.

    “It is nuts. Not nuts. I won’t say it was the most like…it’s shocking, but I don’t know that it’s surprising, and that’s really sad,” Portnoy said at the top of The Unnamed Show podcast.

    He then explained that a fractious political climate with deep ideological divisions created fertile ground for violence. He also suggested that Trump’s role in this cannot be overlooked.

    “Politics definitely has a huge part in it. Trump, and when I say Trump has a huge part in it, I don’t necessarily mean he’s to blame for it, but he’s so divisive without really even…just his face is like divisive, like he just, people hate him so much,“ he explained.

    “And the left and the right, the rhetoric especially to me, the left is insane, and it just boils boils boils boils.”

    It comes after the president’s niece, Mary L. Trump, pointed the finger at him and his party. “The fire was started by the Republicans,” she said in her The Good in Us Substack.

    Portnoy, who, in March, claimed he was offered a job in the Trump administration’s Commerce Department, said a similar volatility spread throughout the country in the wake of the attempt on the president’s life in Butler, Pennsylvania, last year.

    “This happened when Trump, [his assassination attempt], there’s like a three-hour period of like let’s tone down the rhetoric, right. And then they’re right back to it. It’s surprising, and that’s really sad.”

  2. Trump was literally talking about war against the city of Chicago this week.

    My current response – an armed society is a polite society. I heard that from you guys.

    Right wing trolls seem to have forgotten one of your core credos.

    Time to be polite, don’t you think?

  3. He brings out the worst side of people on both ends of the political spectrum

  5. This guy supported Trump himself so he’s a part of the decisiveness himself

  6. Absolutely 1000% accurate. The Utah Gov. said that, “One person. One person alone is responsible for this action”. The guys an idiot and is similar to Trump. Has no clue what he’s doing and just rambling on taking no accountability with the rhetoric the President of the United States keeps repeating over and over and over again for 10 YEARS!!! Now, both sides have idiots but let’s weigh the sides and gather who is more aggressive in spreading this hate. I’ll wait………..

  7. I’m not a huge fan of Portnoy, but he’s correct…even though it’s obvious

  10. Now, will he do anything about it? Like, maybe stop supporting Trump? We know the answer….

  12. He said it’s war with democrats. He says repeatedly that democrats hate America. There were memes all day yesterday of open carry declaring war on Dems.

  13. “NOOOO! ITS NEVER OUR FAULT!”

    -every crybaby republican acting like they didn’t meme Pelosi’s husband getting attacked, or pray that Greta was blown up by Israel, or any number of things they clutch their handkerchiefs at when a democrat does it

  14. The gov of Utah is saying what the President should be saying. I hope he runs for President.

  15. Bitch, fuck outta here. Check out all his comments, not just this one. He’s a right proper cunt. Fuck him.
