Dave Portnoy reacts to Trump’s election victory: ‘The Democrats gave us no choice’

Podcaster and political commentator Dave Portnoy reacted to Donald Trump winning the presidential election after a tumultuous campaign in a video shared on social media.

“He just didn’t win. He won for fun: he won the election, he won the popular vote, he got more votes than last time,” Portnoy said in a video shared to his Instagram account in the early morning hours on Wednesday. “Just a total ringing endorsement of the Republicans and Donald Trump and an indictment of the Democrats.”

The Fox News Decision Desk predicted a Trump victory Wednesday after he scored key victories in a handful of battleground states, including Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.

Portnoy said Trump won by a larger margin than he did in the past because the Democratic Party chose to offend independents and other voters.

“The Democrats didn’t give us a choice,” he said. “It was the worst campaign and the sheer arrogance and moral superiority has driven people away. If you say you’re voting for Trump, suddenly you’re a Nazi, you’re Hitler, you’re trash. Enough. Enough!”

“Millions and millions and millions of people voted for Trump,” Portnoy continued. “He won clearly. He won decisively.”

“So when you call us that, you’re calling the majority of the country ‘racists, Hitlers, Nazis,'” Portnoy said. “I don’t think you understand what that means. You’re alienating all these middlemen by acting like you’re better than us, smarter than us, and frankly insulting our intelligence.”

Portnoy said Harris’ message to voters was that Trump is a threat to democracy and that the vice president was focusing his campaign on “anxiety.”

“It’s rubbish,” he said. “Tonight it’s about the Democrats. Congratulations Donald Trump, I voted for him. I felt like I had no choice but to vote for him because of the campaign that the Democrats ran.”

“You’re alienating half the country. More of it,” Portnoy said, addressing the Democratic Party directly.
