'Dave Portnoy says Trump's divisiveness played 'a huge part' in Charlie Kirk's death'

"Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy believes President Donald Trump’s polarizing rhetoric played a role in the shooting death of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk."

"Kirk, 31, was fatally shot in the neck Wednesday while speaking at a college campus event in Utah. His alleged killer has since been arrested."

"Speaking on Barstool Sports’ The Unnamed Show podcast, Portnoy elaborated on his thoughts connecting the president to the killing."

“ 'When I say Trump has a huge part in it, I don’t necessarily mean he’s to blame for it,' Portnoy explained, 'but he’s so divisive... [even just] his face is divisive. People hate him so much.' "
