Portnoy: Free speech isn't immunity from accountability.

Barstool founder Dave Portnoy says free speech should come with accountability: you can be criticized for offensive remarks, but there’s a line between holding someone to account and dredging up years of dirt to smear them. He argues that politicians are a different case and even floated a potential run against NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani while promoting his new book Cancel Me If You Can.
