Pittsburgh Democratic Committee Chair Kevin Quigley posing with mayoral candidate Tony Moreno
On Feb. 23, “The great President Donald J Trump also has a responsibility to protect this country,” tweeted Moreno in July 2019. “They want to make it socialist and hate America. They try to impeach him, falsely accuse him and turn against American values. That’s what I would have said. He speaks for me.” Moreno told
City Paper that those past tweets don’t represent his current support or policies he endorses, but the revelation has made a splash in the Pittsburgh political world. Allegheny County Democratic Committee members are currently voting on which candidates will receive the party’s endorsements, and the endorsement for Pittsburgh Mayor is between Moreno and state Rep. Ed Gainey. Both are running against incumbent Mayor Bill Peduto, who is not seeking the ACDC endorsement.
