Dave Portnoy
I Need 24/7 Security
In Fear of Political Violence
Published
For the primary time, Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy has revealed how the rise of political violence has affected his life … he now has 24/7 safety at his residence.
He informed Tony Dokoupil in an interview on “CBS News Sunday Morning” he is involved “yahoos” mentioning him on social media might “open the floodgates” for “lunatics” who could want to do him hurt.
He cautioned, “It only takes one.”
And this interview came about earlier than Friday’s incident in Mississippi, the place an antisemite challenged him by yelling “F*** the Jews” throughout Dave’s “One Bite” Pizza Review, and allegedly threw cash at him.
The hateful alleged heckler, 20-year-old Patrick McClintock, was arrested Monday and charged with disturbing the peace.
Reports of antisemitic incidents have elevated 893% over the previous decade, in accordance with the CBS News report, citing the Anti-Defamation League.
Remember … 2 Israeli embassy employees have been shot to dying in May on the Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C.
Dave’s full interview airs Sunday.
