PITTSBURGH (KDKA) — After the announcement Pittsburgh may be one of several cities where the 2024 Republican National Convention could be held, local Democratic politicians are speaking out.
On Sunday, both District 9 City Councilman Rev. Ricky V. Burgess and Congressional candidate Jerry Dickinson publicly stated that they are opposed to the idea of the city hosting the convention.
Burgess wrote a letter to VisitPITTSBURGH, which he says is encouraging the RNC to happen in the city, and asked them to withdraw their interest:
“As disturbing as it is to learn that the Republican National Committee is considering Pittsburgh for its 2024 National Convention, it is appalling that VisitPittsburgh, which receives millions of dollars in tax revenue each year, is leading this charge.”
“VisitPITTSBURGH has inquired about submitting a bid to host the 2024 Democratic National Convention, but at this time, we have not been invited by the Democratic National Committee to submit a formal proposal,” a spokesperson for VisitPITTSBURGH said on Friday.
Meanwhile, Dickinson criticized new Democratic Pittsburgh Mayor Ed Gainey and Allegheny County Executive Fitzgerald for comments they allegedly made in support of hosting the convention.
“Mayor Gainey and County Executive Fitzgerald want to offer our city to the Republican Party to use as a megaphone and national stage to voice anti-democratic values months before Republicans likely attempt to overturn the 2024 election,” he said. “I’m calling on the Mayor and County Executive to renounce the allure of big business in the name of safeguarding our democracy.”

Hold the convention in Jacksonville or Tampa or Miami.
The GOPee should hold a Convention in Cheyenne Wyo. in support of Cheney.
Ha, I think that’s a great idea.
Florida gets redder by the day and Western PA will be important in 2024.
Why the rnc can have their conventions anywhere they want, the race baiters are going to come out no matter where the race convention us held.
I agree.
Have it in Texas.
lotta libtards here, patriots and soldiers too
Florida or Texas.
If you got a brain cell you invite them and wallow in the publicity
Nashville is the absolute top of the mixed media hotness right now. Bill Lee seems to be doing everything correctly in TN as long as he holds in 2022.
Mayor Cooper wants to keep the party rolling as Nashville and the suburbs becomes the wealthiest counties outside of silicon valley and DC.
I would not be surpised to see both National Conventions in Nashville in 2024. It will be good to see the DC press melt out front of the convention center for a month.

Liberalism truly is a mental disease. These people need to be boxed into cages, never to be released again.
The demoncrats only hate babies, free thinkers, Christians, Republicans, honest hard work, the USA, the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, red states, the unjabbed, and much more.
The usual strategy is to hold the convention in a winnable swing state and hope to get a bump. If Republicans can’t win in Florida in 2024, we’re toast. Boosting the ticket in Pennsylvania, Michigan, North Carolina or Georgia might be worth considering.

Wall to wall BLM protests if GOP selects that state—What sort of foolishness is this? TIME FOR NEW PARTY! The Rino Party (like the Democrat-Progressives) is on a Mission to kill itself. Maybe thats the plan? Break the Rinos into two parties and then, the Democrats can stay in power in 2022-24. Only in this way can the Nation become a Billionaire’s plaything ran with Chinese Money? Maybe that will be a good thing—When we go full Communists—all the rich will end up in the Alaskan Gulag cutting Trees.
Is ‘revrund’ Ricky as appalled at the abortion industry in Pitt, as he is at the thought of Republicans coming to town and spending money?
Typical fake preacher, that’s all he is.
This is completely in line with their philosophy (if it can even be called that). They want to suppress the opposition and not even allow them to be seen or heard. If they can, they change laws to accomplish this. The simple reason is, their goals have no popular mandate, they are unconstitutional, and their viewpoints cannot withstand the inherent cross-examination of normal dialogue.
The fact that a core concept of Leftism is the politics of personal destruction is just entertaining icing on the cake for them.
“Florida or Texas”.
Desantis wouldn’t hesitate a minute to call out the NG (or his new State Guard) if the leftist started causing trouble, where Abbott would have to ponder the situation.
