More Pushback

"Military City USA should not host someone with a record of hate speech and antisemitic comments in a city-funded facility like our Alamodome—not ever," Mayor Gina Ortiz Jones wrote

The mayor of San Antonio has called for the cancelation of Kanye West’s concert at the city’s Alamodome, scheduled for the Fourth of July.

Weeks after Florida senator Rick Scott urged the Tampa Sports Authority to cancel West’s upcoming concerts at Raymond James Stadium, San Antonio Gina Ortiz Jones similarly lobbied against the rapper performing in the Texas city.

“I support canceling the @kanyewest concert,” Jones wrote on social media. “Military City USA should not host someone with a record of hate speech and antisemitic comments in a city-funded facility like our Alamodome—not ever, and certainly not on July 4th, our Nation’s 250th birthday.”
