House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Wednesday slammed President Donald Trump's insistence that the Republican National Convention occur as planned despite the pandemic, and suggested neither party had any business holding its massive quadrennial gathering given the risks to public health.
"I don't think there's anyone who would say at this point that tens of thousands of people should come together for a political convention, no matter how great an ego trip it is for somebody,” Pelosi, D-Calif., said during a news conference with other Democratic House leaders.
Her comments came just days after Trump threatened to move the Republican convention from Charlotte, North Carolina, if there is a chance the venue there might not be filled because of coronavirus-related restrictions.
The GOP convention is currently scheduled for Aug. 24-27 in a state that recently reported its highest number of new cases in a single day. North Carolina entered the second phase of its reopening last week, but gatherings of groups over 10 people indoors, and 25 people outdoors, are still prohibited.
After Trump threatened to move the RNC, several other states, including Georgia and Florida, offered themselves as alternatives.

I’m there, no matter where it is held, no matter how NBC “News” twists and spins their propaganda.
Sucker play
She SAYS the Rats won’t hold a convention, but will immediately announce one as soon as Trump calls of the Republican convention
Which he WONT
Cuz he ain’t a suckah
The very thought of President Trump getting one more second of national air time scares the living bejeebers out of them, doesn’t it!
I think they should move it to Florida. The governor of North Carolina got smart mouth about the whole thing, so take the millions of dollars the convention will generate to a state that is welcoming.
If it’s too dangerous to hold a convention, then it’s too dangerous to hold an election...Just keep President trump in office for 4 more years...
Wonder what Pelousy would say to that????
Hold it in Georgia, Florida, or Texas Mr. President.
I support Trump on this one.
Look up “bitch” in the dictionary and there’s her picture. I absolutely DESPISE her and the Democrats. Not to mention the “Dem-Republicans”.
Ft Hood or Eglin AFB
"Biiiiiiden! Come out to plaaay! Biiiiiiiden come out to PLAAAAAAAAY!"
So what?
At least it will be open and above board
The Party Party doesn’t want to party?
Pelosi has had the free bar in her gov’t plane removed?
NANZI Pelosi seeks to disenfranchise Republican voters and stands in opposition to them having their political convention.
And for the record, the labor unions (like SEIU) that have been granted “essential” status are no doubt working on Democrat campaign efforts same as every election.
This will undoubtedly be filed under "Advice worth what it cost."
She’s SO jealous and afraid.
LOVE it!
