Charlotte City Council raising concerns about "potentially violent, divisive" 2020 Repub Convention
CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Some Charlotte City Council members are raising concerns and questions about the possible choice of Charlotte to host the 2020 Republican Convention where presumably, Donald Trump would be nominated for a second term.
Freshman Democratic Council member Braxton Winston says the public should get a chance to be heard on bringing the GOP convention to Charlotte.
“If you are going to bring something to town that is potentially violent, divisive, then we should ask the people of Charlotte how they feel about that as well,” said Winston.
Council member LaWana Mayfield, also a Democrat concurred saying she could not support the convention because of President Trump’s policies towards minorities.
