Donald Trump mentioned Pittsburgh today, and that was a mistake.
The Bumbler In Chief called out Pittsburgh today when he announced that he would ditch the Paris Agreement.
The reaction from Pittsburgh has been a fast and furious rebut.
From the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette:
Pittsburgh is hogging the national spotlight, and it’s being shone on the city courtesy of President Donald Trump, who in a climactic moment about the climate, made the alliterative assertment that, when it comes to which accords he’ll agree to, he “was elected to represent the citizens of Pittsburgh, not Paris.”
Which was surprising to Pittsburghers, because It’s worth noting that in November’s presidential election, Allegheny County and Pittsburgh were won by Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton.
So far, reaction has been swift.
And then there were the tweets, these from Pittsburgh Mayor Bill Peduto:
And the voices go on from there.
