Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy, also known as "El Presidente," challenged Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to a debate over unions.
On Tuesday Portnoy tweeted some anti-union stuff and linked to a 2015 blog post where he said if any of his employees tried to unioniz ehe would "smash their little union to smithereens."
Rafi Letzter said that any of Portnoy's employees could contact him if they want to learn more about unionizing.
Portnoy fired back as only he can when he said he would can any of his employees who reached out to Letzter.

This was when Ocasio-Cortez decided to jump in and it did not go well for her either.

Donald Trump Jr. was checking it out and decided to join in on the fun.
Picking a fight with @stoolpresidente and @barstoolsports is probably the biggest mistake @AOC has ever made on Twitter. https://t.co/hp7gF2DECc

From there Portnoey told Alexandria "O'CRAZIO" Cortez that she needs to learn not to tangle with "our countries presidents." He was referring to, of course, himself and President Donald Trump.
When will Alexandria O’CRAZIO Cortez @Aoc learn not to tangle with our countries Presidents? @realDonaldTrump https://t.co/kjNHzcT7JG

The man who built a sports digital media empire from the ground up was having some fun with his employees when AOC decided to jump in and make it about her. She was then ran over by Portnoy and his legion of "Stoolies."
The story even made it to Fox News:

How great was this? Debate him, AOC!
He makes some great points. It's a comedy site. He also cleared things up that he's talking about a union for his site not unions in general. Also, he wants credit for OCRAZIO.
Portnoy says President Trump is going to use OCRAZIO. Do you think that will happen?
