Nashville invites the plague

Trump looks elsewhere after GOP convention spat with NC gov

NC didn't cave to the idiotic demands of the Plague King, so he's looking for a more stupid town in a more stupid state.

President Donald Trump said he is seeking a new state to host this summer’s Republican National Convention after North Carolina refused to guarantee the event could be held in Charlotte without public health restrictions to contain the coronavirus pandemic.

Trump announced the news via tweet Tuesday night, complaining that Gov. Roy Cooper, D-N.C., and other officials were not “allowing us to occupy the arena as originally anticipated and promised.”

. . . .

The RNC said it would begin visiting potential alternative sites in the largely GOP-led states that had offered to host the convention. 

The Republican governors of Tennessee, Florida and Georgia have said they would be interested.

Tennessee's Bill Lee said GOP officials were coming to scout Nashville on Thursday. 

He called the city “the best place in America to have a convention.”
