Country singer Zach Bryan’s ex-girlfriend, a liberal Barstool host, said Wednesday she couldn’t avoid supporters of President Donald Trump even if she tried, because “everyone voted” for him.
On “BFFs with Josh Richards and Brianna Chickenfry, the hosts were discussing isolation and the political divide in the country.
Chickenfry, whose real last name is LaPaglia, remarked how she and Dave Portnoy, founder of Barstool Sports, would “go back and forth” because Portnoy liked Trump.
