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.”

Sad that Allegheny county election shenanigans sent Pelosi's foot stool--Conman Connor the Lying Lamb--back in Congress. Now the fraud is going to try to steal the PA senate.
Bed wetters.
*Almost all big cities are run by leftists, so there isn’t much of a choice.*
Avalon. Catalina island. Casino Building. Station cruise ships there for hotels. No access to the islands for protesters. Let them riot in LA. Newsom’s problem.
Yes it will. I was up there over Christmas and if you told me I’d be reading headlines like this in the local paper...
Bring it to a dark red state. Help beef up the area revenue for loyal conservatives.
Of course, RINO Ronna ROMMEY McDaniels doesn’t give a rip about doing the right thing. If she did, she’d have been in DC on 1/6/21 supporting PDJT instead of partying with the beautiful people at an Amelia Island resort.
Somewhere here in TN would be nice. But if there were problems I’m afraid Bill Lee would cave. He’s a squish at heart.
Bad idea. It will attract nothing but terrorists to town.

Neither of them belong in office.
Say wha...? Socialism is having trouble taking hold.
This is why Democrat controlled cities are failing!
Whoa that link is tooooo close to home for me! I could say stuff about some of those candidates but i cant....
NO TO SALT LAKE CITY!
The Pirates could be in contention by August 2024.
Do a survey to find out which city pisses the Democrats off the most, and hold it there!
The RNC never lets a chance to look idiotic & simpering pass them by...
Hate communists and perverts, yes
Hell, do it in Westmoreland County!
Choosing the sites for RNCs that are in RAT cities is a losing proposition. The antiquated thought that it shows RATS and voters in these places that Republicans are for everyone, blah, blah, blah and that it will translate to better and more votes is hogwash. The truth is you could give a RAT crap hole city a billion dollars and they would spit in your face right after they cash the check.
Start spending your money where it will do some good for people who actually WILL vote for you.
From wiki originally.
On checking further in other sources, the actual geographic location is now closed.
The nearest town, mentioned in the article, is now the "officially" recognized location.
It sounds like the "steal" is already in for the 2024 presidential election. They don't seem to be leaving the vote to chance and they are already certain of its outcome. Also, I don't recall ever hearing about Republicans refusing a Democrat convention. The Democrats are dropping the who pretense of a fair election process.
