Bay Area Houston

The power of money.

Houston City Council has approved agreement to support Houston’s bid to host the 2028 Republican National Convention despite members voicing concerns over Republican policy priorities. Houston is competing with Nashville and Miami and could bring millions of dollars in tax revenues.

The RNC has a history of supporting hate groups such as the Proud Boys, Oath Keepers, Moms for Liberty, and others. Over the last 8 years they have attacked the Gay community, have put our police in harms way by flooding the streets with guns. They have attacked Mexican Americans, Black, Asian Americans, teachers, Muslims, Jews, and almost every minority you can think of. This is who the Republican Party has become. The Republican Party is nothing but a bunch of hateful, fucked up, people.

Council Member Gallegos and District C Councilmember Abbie Kamin, were no votes on the agreement. According to the Houston Chronicle: “District I Councilmember Robert Gallegos was the only one who voted no to the Wednesday agreement, citing some Republican leaders’ policy stances and rhetoric on immigration, LGBTQ rights, abortion and election rules.”

“Any organization has the right to enjoy all that our city has to offer, and they should,” Kamin said in a statement. “But (I) cannot in good conscience support (the agreement) when large numbers of District C residents are being impacted by the explicit bigotry that’s been embraced by a small but loud faction” of the Republican Party.”

But the RNC brings money. And hookers. And hate. And tiki Torches.
