I'll tell y'all something frigging weird:

There is one city, my town of origin, which Orangina hasn’t mentioned: Philadelphia. We have a ton of shootings, plenty of street and retail crime, assaults, and the place really is a mess. Not a word. Black female (his favorite) mayor: not a word. A city council historically consisting of, I’ll be polite, sub-par individuals. Not a word. No call for federal troops.

I’m perplexed. Maybe they forgot about us.

Or: maybe they realize what would happen if they showed up. Might be a problem.

Cradle of Liberty. Don't want that idea mentioned when you're going full MAGA.

Malcolm Nance home town. Surely don't want to tussle with him.

Room to Move history. Police have already bombed their own city, how did that turn out?

He has a legitimacy deficit in Philadelphia. And several good reasons to stay away.
