Dave Portnoy recently unveiled a startling video of a disturbing interaction with a heckler who hurled an antisemitic insult during a pizza review he was conducting in Mississippi. The incident involved a 20-year-old man, Patrick McClintock, who has since been arrested for allegedly tossing coins and shouting the offensive remark at Portnoy. Portnoy was in Starkville to cover a college football game between Mississippi State and Georgia.
A bystander captured the unsettling moment on camera as they filmed the Barstool Sports founder, who is Jewish, during one of his renowned “one bite” pizza reviews. Now, Portnoy has released his own footage of the incident, providing a different perspective on the confrontation and its aftermath. He shared the video on his X account, accompanying his usual pizza review post.
In the video, as Portnoy speaks to the camera, the heckler’s voice interrupts with the shout: “Hey, f*** the Jews, f*** you Dave.” Portnoy responds by inviting the heckler into the camera’s view, challenging, “Why don’t you come in the camera, buddy?” The tension escalates as McClintock then appears to tell Portnoy to “get the f*** out of Starkville.”
Now Portnoy himself has shared a new angle of the slur and the heated encounter which followed after posting the pizza review like usual on his X account.
As he was talking to the camera, the heckler is heard shouting: ‘Hey, f*** the Jews, f*** you Dave.’
‘Why don’t you come in the camera, buddy?’ Portnoy replies before McClintock appears to tell him to ‘get the f*** out of Starkville’.

He then walks up to confront his tormentor, who claims Portnoy previously said people should be ‘put in handcuffs’ for making antisemitic jokes.
A confused Portnoy responds, ‘Handcuffs? No,’ before McClintock hits back, ‘That’s what you said! You said it should be a crime.’
The crowd that had gathered around to watch the media personality film his pizza review then begin shouting abuse at the heckler as he is pulled away by security.
‘He said “f*** the Jews” and threw s*** at me,’ Portnoy then says to a member of the crowd who asked what he said, before adding that there is ‘a**holes everywhere you go.’
Just days later, McClintock has been arrested over the matter and was charged with ‘disturbing the peace’.
Officers became aware of the viral moment shortly after it occurred and issued an arrest warrant for McClintock. TMZ claims he was a student at Mississippi State University, but withdrew from the school Monday evening.
His mugshot was released on Monday and it showed him staring blankly down the lens of the camera in a buttoned-down shirt. He was subsequently processed and released.
Brandon Lovelady – Public Information Officer for the Starkville Police Department – said in a statement provided to the Daily Mail: ‘Every person has the right to feel safe and respected in our community.
‘Offensive words alone are protected, but when behavior disrupts a public event or risks violence, the Starkville Police Department will take steps to help maintain safety and security.

‘The State of Mississippi allows courts to impose enhanced penalties if a violation meets the criteria for bias-motivated or discriminatory reasons. This remains under investigation.’
DailyMail.com has approached Dave Portnoy’s representatives for comment.
It is sadly not the first time in recent months where Portnoy has been targeted with such disgraceful abuse over his faith.
When the 48-year-old was filming a pizza review outside of Terrazza in Toronto in June, a passer-by yelled out ‘f*** the Jews’ from a car.
‘There we go,’ Portnoy said, before being left furious that members of the crowd that had gathered around him on that day laughed at the incident.
‘What are you guys f***ing laughing about?’ Portnoy shouted. They quickly fell silent, with Portnoy adding: ‘Exactly.’
A month before the Canada incident, Portnoy was embroiled in another Anti-Semitic scandal, after a bottle service worker was filmed holding a sign that read ‘F*** the Jews’ at the Barstool Sports bar in Philadelphia.
He immediately fired two waitresses and identified the people allegedly responsible for ordering the sign – one being Temple University student Mo Khan.
