The incident took place on Saturday night at the bar when girls in bottle-service brought a sign to the floor reading, “F — the Jews.” Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy announced the day after the two waitresses in question were fired and spoken to the two men who were allegedly responsible for the sign and agreed to send them on a trip to Auschwitz to learn about the Holocaust.
One of the men identified as Mo Khan went out on the deal and pushed back on claims that he had something to do with the anti -Semitic sign. Temple has already suspended Khan.
He released a statement on Tuesday and said that when he entered into the deal with Portnoy, he was under hardness.
“Although I had nothing to do with the sign that came out, nor do I know who did, I know the sign was provocative because it reminded people of the unfair things Israel is doing around the world, which led me to report on it,” Khan said, rebuking his claim that he was a “citizen journalist” in the case.
“Dave Portnoy and his friends can choose to be triggered over the feelings of this sign and even kick me out of the establishment forever. However, they have no right to ruin my life over freedom of speech and ultimately something that was a wild joke. Frankly, they are more concerned about destroying and rebuting me than the thousands of people who are ruined and upset in excerpt.”
Khan then appeared on “Stew Peters Live” and agreed with the host’s ideas of “Jewish supremacy.”

Portnoy responded to Khan’s statement later Tuesday. He wrote in a post on X that Khan was a “flat liar.”
“I talked to him on the phone with his friend, and they both owned it up to it and cried about it. He then lawled after talking to his family,” Portnoy wrote. “His name came out because he is an idiot and uploaded ‘F — The sign of the Jews to his Instagram before I even knew about it. He already went viral without me. He spreads hatred and uses the conflict in the Middle East as his apology. And did it in a bar with my (company’s) name of it.
“Now he tries to take advantage of it. I’m sure he wants to make money because there is plenty of anti -Semitism in the world. Whatever this is the least surprising thing ever. He is the definition of a cowardly. Zero accountability to his actions. I don’t care what religion you are or even how you feel about the Middle East. This was an act of pure hatred and this should disgust you.”
Portnoy said in a separate video that he felt “mute” and tried to “show grace” and do things right.
“This is what the face of being a coward is,” he said of Khan.
On Wednesday, Portnoy wrote on X that Khan “Possibly is the biggest thing ever happened to Jews to fight anti -Semitism in America” and pointed to other alleged events involving Khan.
