In his a previous rant on Instagram, which received nearly 6 million views since posted one week ago, Portnoy railed against politicians for stealing people’s right to work and earn a living. As a business founder himself, he knows personally how detrimental the restrictions are and how heartbreaking the losses can be.
“I can’t believe in this country that what I consider the most basic right of them all, the right to earn a living, the right to earn a livelihood, is now being stolen,” he said. “And they’re saying that they protect us. Let us protect ourselves. You’re not protecting a family that you just destroyed.”
