Barstool Patron Flips, Claims No Responsibility For ‘F*** The Jews’ Sign. Portnoy Isn’t Buying It.

Throwing yet another twist into the ongoing situation stemming from a “F*** the Jews” sign that was spotted at Barstool Sansom Street, a sports bar in Center City Philadelphia, Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy announced that one of the patrons who initially took responsibility for the incident had backtracked.

Taking to X to deliver the follow up, Portnoy said that Mo Kahn — one of the two people he spoke to who had said on Sunday that they were behind the sign — had taken to social media to write a lengthy post disavowing any and all connection to it. Instead, he said that he had simply shared video of something that happened at the bar while he was there.

“Quick update. Mo Kahn is no longer taking any responsibility or involvement for the ‘F*** the Jews’ sign at Barstool Samson. [He] is basically lawyering up and blaming it all on his friend now and is saying he was just a citizen journalist. It is a 180 from my convo with him yesterday. Needless to say his trip to Poland has been revoked,” Portnoy said in his caption.

Portnoy shared a screenshot of Kahn’s post, showing where he told his followers that he had not been the one who “paid for or requested that sign,” and said that his only mistake had been making “the poor decision to record and upload it.” He then apologized for anyone whose feelings had been hurt by his post, adding, “I hope honest and open dialogue can come out of this incident so we can address the deeper realities of the world we live in.”

The Barstool Sports founder, who had previously spoken to Kahn and one other patron (whose name he did not reveal), said on Sunday that both had taken responsibility for the sign and had subsequently agreed to take a trip to Auschwitz and try to learn something from the experience.

Upon seeing Kahn’s post, Portnoy called to speak with him again, but this time, he said the conversation was very different. Kahn recorded the call and had his parents with him, and insisted that he’d had nothing to do with the sign — rather, he said that he’d felt pressured to take responsibility for it when they spoke the first time.

Portnoy said that Kahn, a 21-year-old Temple University student who has since been suspended, attempted to distance himself from the situation, saying that he would “never” do anything like that — but then Portnoy came across an old social media post of Kahn’s that included an anti-Semitic joke from six months earlier.

“I’m like, ‘How do you explain that one if you’re not ever doing anything like that?'” Portnoy continued. “He’s like, ‘Well, I really won’t be able to explain that, maybe my parents can explain that.’ Your parents can explain the ‘how you find a Jew, you throw a quarter on the floor’ joke? Not like — I mean, whatever, I’ve got thick skin. But this kid couldn’t even — he wouldn’t even admit he did it. He’s like, ‘That’s on a social media channel, like, I deleted, I don’t even have that anymore.'”

“Buddy, what are you doing?” Portnoy asked then, saying that he’d hoped to be able to turn a bad decision into a teachable moment, but that Kahn’s 180-degree turn had made him change his mind. “Maybe if you actually learn a life lesson, maybe if people watch you go to Poland and seem like you’re changed, this gets behind you.”

Portnoy concluded by saying that he’d rescinded his offer to send Kahn to Poland, arguing that if he wasn’t willing to take responsibility for his actions, he was not ready to learn the kind of lesson that would help him behave differently in the future.

NBC Host Lays Trap For Byron Donalds. He’s Not Taking The Bait.

Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL) made it clear on Monday that he was not going to simply step into the trap laid for him by NBC News host Kristen Welker when she asked about a conversation she’d had with President Donald Trump on Sunday’s broadcast of “Meet the Press.”

Welker took an exchange from Sunday’s show regarding whether or not illegal immigrants were entitled to due process simply because they were physically in the United States — a question Trump had said he was not sure about — and asked Donalds how he would respond to the same question. Donalds, instead of answering the question directly, gave a response that exposed the framing of the question as an attempt to force him into suggesting that Trump’s answer had been out of line.

Welker read the text of the Fifth Amendment and then pressed Donalds for a response: “The Constitution says any person, not citizen and therein lies the debate and the root of my question. I mean, does ‘any person’ just apply to citizens in your mind or does it apply to citizens and non-citizens? Secretary of State Marco Rubio says it applies to citizens and non-citizens.”

“Let’s be very clear,” Donalds began, taking a jab at former President Joe Biden and his administration’s open borders policies. “First and foremost, when the framers wrote our Constitution, they never envisioned that there would be an executive that would allow millions of people to come into the country illegally.”

“Number two, more importantly, you have a situation right now — is it okay for any administration to not follow the law, abuse border security laws, let millions of people in, and then hide behind a court system to say, ‘Well, now they’re here, so now we have to go through a lengthy process’?” he asked.
