Twitter Restores Dave Portnoy’s Account Following Massive Backlash, Portnoy Responds

Twitter restored the account of Barstool Sports founder David Portnoy on Friday evening after the far-left social media platform faced instant widespread backlash for banning him.

“Portnoy’s handle @stoolpresidente, which had 2.5 million Twitter followers, was shut down with an ‘Account suspended’ message,” Fox News reported. “#FreeDavePortnoy began dominating social media as it was unclear what led to his suspension.”

Portnoy told the network immediately following the ban, “The will of the people will be heard. #freeportnoy.” Portnoy said he did not know why he had been banned.

Portnoy posted the following message on Twitter after the company restored his account:

I’m back. #freeportnoy pic.twitter.com/EeY0hnelrO
