Barstool Sports CEO hits back at AOC: ‘She jumped in the fray like an idiot’

WaEx:

Barstool Sports founder and CEO Dave Portnoy responded to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez amid their feud over his tweet that he would fire any employees attempting to form a union.

Portnoy, also known as El Pres, sent the tweet Tuesday after a writer said anyone who wants to form a union at the sports blog company should contact him.

In addition to drawing the attention of labor unions, Portnoy’s tweet also gained attention from the New York Democrat, who tweeted, “If you’re a boss tweeting firing threats to employees trying to unionize, you are likely breaking the law &can be sued,in your words, ‘on the spot.'”

Portnoy chastised people who took his tweet seriously since they are well known for trolling and for their style of comedy.

“The people that think I am going to jail, they’re idiots. Let me clarify real quick, we are a comedy site, we’re pretty clear about that. We have no union at Barstool Sports. Nobody is trying to make a union at Barstool Sports,” Portnoy said Wednesday on Tucker Carlson Tonight.

“I am talking about Barstool Sports and I making fun of our own employees, saying, ‘If you try to make a union I will crush you,’ and these morons, who have no idea what we do, jump into the fray like AOC, O-crazy-o,” he continued. keep reading
