Blaze commentator Jason Whitlock criticized Dave Portnoy Tuesday calling him a “fraud” with “no core values” after the Barstool founder attacked conservative comedian Alex Stein online.
Stein, a BlazeTV contributor, has gained notoriety by mocking public officials and sharing the video across social media.
Whitlock came to Stein’s defense after Portnoy posted a Twitter video Monday of Stein’s appearance at a Las Vegas City Council meeting. According to Whitlock, Barstool then deleted the post which prompted a response from Stein.
“It’s so cute that @barstoolsports is owned by Stool Presidente who is accused of the most heinous things, but they are too afraid to keep my content up,” he said.
Whitlock wrote that Portnoy “has no redeeming qualities other than his wealth. Remove his money, and he wouldn’t have a friend in this world.”
“If we weren’t living in an era completely hostile to masculinity, Portnoy would be broke in Boston delivering pizza,” Whitlock said. “The prohibition of masculinity is what made heroes and millionaires of men like Portnoy and Tate.”
Barstool is a popular blog and digital content site founded by Portnoy 19 years ago. Whitlock accused Portnoy of founding the company while “pretending to be a fearless disruptor standing against the wokefication of sports and American culture.”
“If ESPN wasn’t hostile to masculinity, there would never have been a market for Portnoy’s brand of masculine sports talk,” added Whitlock.
