Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy on Wednesday explained why Democrats had only themselves to blame for independents like himself voting for Donald Trump.

Early Wednesday morning, Trump secured the presidency when he was projected to win Pennsylvania. In a stunning turn of events, Trump actually swept the “blue wall” of Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania — three states that Vice President Kamala Harris had to have as her path to 270 Electoral College votes narrowed.

As noted on virtually every major network’s live election coverage, Harris under-performed across a number of key districts in comparison to Joe Biden in 2020. Trump, on the other hand, over-performed.

In a video posted online hours after the race was called, Portnoy blasted Democrats for running the “worst campaign.” He added:

Just a total ringing endorsement for the Republicans and Donald Trump, and an indictment against the Democrats; and that’s really this rant. A lot of people are asking, “How did Trump get more votes than he got last time?” Well, here’s the answer: because people like myself — independents or moderates — the Democrats gave us no choice. The Democrats gave us no choice. That was the worst campaign and their pure arrogance and their moral superiority have driven people away. If you say you’re voting for Trump, suddenly you’re a Nazi, you’re Hitler, you’re garbage. Enough, enough.

Like, yeah, I’m sure there’s racists in the party just like there’s fucking crazy people and assholes and racists in, in the Democratic Party, alright? But millions and millions and millions and millions of people vote for Trump. He won clear; he won decisive; so when you call us that and when you say that, you’re calling the majority of the country racists, Hitlers, Nazis. I don’t think you get the words of what that means. You are alienating all these middle ground people by acting like you’re better than us, smarter than us and, frankly, insulting our intelligence.

Trump’s the threat to democracy? That was the entire democratic campaign. It wasn’t about policy because everyone knew we want change. We’re not happy with the borders, the Middle East, the economy, inflation; and Kamala consistently said she was no different than Joe Biden, wouldn’t do anything different than Joe Biden, last person in the room. Her pitch to the people was, “Trump is Hitler. Trump is bad. He’s a dictator.” Again, we’re not stupid.

The Democrats were the ones who were saying Joe Biden was mentally fit for two years when he was a vegetable and couldn’t even make it off stage from giving a speech; and the Democrats would lie to our face and say the videos were edited, altered. They weren’t.

Then, after the primary is over, they stage a coup, get rid of Joe, put in Kamala, and suddenly, she’s the greatest thing since sliced bread. Same woman who ran for president got zero votes; same woman who can’t even answer a question how she’s different from Biden. Ran one of the worst campaigns I’ve ever seen. Just strictly, her entire campaign was fear mongering. “Trump as a dictator. He ended democracy.” It’s garbage. It’s garbage. The people pulling the strings in the Democratic Party, get rid of them. They’ve lost the plot. Tonight is on the Democrats.
