‘HAS HE WIPED THE BLOOD OFF THE KNIFE YET?' Dave Portnoy slams Clooney, Dems for hijacking democracy Back to video

Portnoy blasted the Democratic Party on Monday, accusing them of concealing Biden’s health and age issues and attempting to “hijack” democracy by pushing for Vice President Kamala Harris as their next next candidate.
“She was so disliked and such a bad candidate, she didn’t make it through the first f***ing primary, and I guess she’s never gonna have to get a real vote, because she’s been handpicked on purpose by the people who have been running Joe for the last two to three years, and now they’re gonna try to run her and trot her out,” he said.
Portnoy argued that it was hypocritical for Dems to talk about saving democracy when Harris appears to have already been chosen without a democratic vote.
“Just admit you hijacked democracy, just admit you don’t care if f***ing Mussolini or a head of lettuce is running against (Donald) Trump, you hate him so much, you’re willing to trample on democracy, steal the vote from the American public, the most supposedly important right an American has, the right to vote, you have stolen from the Democratic Party,” Portnoy ranted.

Portnoy had previously slammed the actor for not endorsing Biden sooner, then ripped him again after Clooney turned on the president following his disastrous debate against Trump.
So when Portnoy learned that Clooney has thrown his support behind Harrisby praising Biden, he just about lost his mind.
“Well, first thing, that Clooney quote … has he wiped the blood off the knife yet? I mean, that is unbelievable.”
Police Unions, Labor Unions, Teacher Unions, media outlets can endorse candidates. George is just voting for Kamala. https://t.co/wQSy3eGjFl pic.twitter.com/ImFOQ9HXKD

Clooney released a statement to CNN that he was endorsing Harris.
“President Biden has shown what true leadership is,” Clooney stated. “He’s saving democracy once again. We’re all so excited to do whatever we can to support Vice President Harris in her historic quest.”
Portnoy scoffed at Clooney, saying he and other Dems “assassinated” Biden “in a political sense,” adding that all of a sudden the president is being branded a “hero” for stepping down and endorsing Harris.
“You pushed him down a flight of stairs, kicking and screaming,” Portnoy said of how Biden’s resignation played out.
He then went off on Clooney again, saying the Oscar winner doesn’t have the right to endorse anyone.
“George Clooney’s voting,” Portnoy blustered. “When you’re a labour union or the teachers’ union or police department union, you can endorse somebody. When you’re just a single guy, you’re just voting for somebody.”
