Dave Portnoy on CBS News – Screencap of YouTube video.Dave Portnoy, the multimillionaire who built Barstool Sports into a massive media presence, joined Stuart Varney on Fox Business to warn about the ‘dangerous direction’ being touted by radical New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) across the country.Portnoy told Varney, “Yeah, well, I mean, look at just what happened in New York. You had Mamdani raising the arm of a woman who literally started a foundation at Columbia with the express goal of overthrowing Western society.”“It’s so absurd, you can’t make it up.”“Another one in New York said, ‘U.S. deserved 9/11. No borders, no police, no prisons.'”“She actually, the woman, (Darializa Avila) Chevalier, that Mamdani was endorsing and going to pub crawl, said she didn’t want black men and Arab men to marry ugly white colonizing women.”“They said this, they tweeted this.”“By the way, Jalen Brunson, the King of New York, married to a Jewish woman. I wonder how he feels about that.”“These are anti-American. They hate America.”“Listen, one thing is communism. I’m obviously a capitalist and entrepreneur. If you want to argue, I want everyone to have affordable living and then be able to go in and get healthcare. That’s one thing.”“But when you openly hate the country that you’re running for office in, that’s a very different thing.”And these people hate America. You know what, Stuart? I trust what people say, a lot, before they’re elected. When they get elected, a lot of these people are deleting their tweets, saying, ‘oh, we changed.’ They don’t want to talk about it.“It’s garbage, and it’s scary.”Watch:Dave Portnoy: “I want everyone to have affordable living and then be able to go and get healthcare—that’s one thing. But when you openly hate the country that you’re running for office in, that’s a very different thing, and these people hate America.” pic.twitter.com/2DElDllXRb— The Post Millennial (@TPostMillennial) July 1, 2026The Gateway Pundit reported that Portnoy announced earlier this week that he is considering running for mayor of NYC because of his opposition to the rise of Mamdani and the DSA.Read more:Dave Portnoy of Barstool Sports Says He’s Thinking of Running for Mayor of New York City to Oppose Mamdani and the DSA (VIDEO)/*!
