REPORT: 9 DNC hotels infested with bedbugs (Democrats, politicians, states, claim)

[jt800]

You think incumbent politicians are hard to get rid of? Try bedbugs.

The blood-sucking insects have made a resurgence in recent years, including reports of them at nine of the hotels being used for Democrats’ nominating convention this week in Charlotte.


Some convention-goers were fearful in the run-up to the convention, and state officials and exterminators said bedbug reports have been on the uptick in and around the Queen City.








Exterminators have been called in to get rid of the Democrats.

Oh good grief.

What a bogus article. No one has reported having bedbugs during this convention!

Check the report for NYC, LA, CHI, etc. All cities have had problems with bedbugs and all cities work at staying on top of it.

Very unfair making it look like Charlotte is having problems with delegates finding bedbugs in their rooms.

All that says is . . . in the past . . . 9 hotels at one time had reports of bedbugs.

That doesn't say, nor does it mean, that currently, during this convention, delegates have reported bedbugs.

The writer is trying to pump up a non-story based on a pheneomenon going on all over this country - hotels, even the swankiest, are having to deal with bedbugs being carried in on traveler's luggage.

It is a non-story based on reports over the last year about bedbugs. The article states that, like any other city, Charlotte has dealt with these incidences. No one is reporting BEDBUGS AT THIS TIME.

The bedbugs aren't the real problem.......the exterminators are coming to the White House in November to rid it of the real vermin

Yes, I get your point.

Classy.

Now imagine if some Democrat had made a similar remark concerning the GOP and how he'd like to poison them all.

I hope it wasn't more of the secret service getting caught with hookers...who knows what kind of bugs they claimed..bed bugs or crabs?

This bedbug story makes Charlotte look bad, not the Dems. I know bedbugs have made a resurgence, virtually everywhere. They are not really a sign of uncleanliness.
