37. Yep. You nailed it. I see Portnoy as a supposedly acceptable version of Andrew Tate

I am shocked at the influence and audience Tate has. That worries me more about my daughter’s world than guns or living in the city (Richmond). I love the city. Those people are out there and there are a lot of them. I don’t think a lot of people here or in the media understand the pull that world has. Portnoy, to me, is a wink and a nod at it without touching it directly.
