San Antonio Mayor Gina Ortiz Jones Says Kanye West Concert Should Be Canceled

San Antonio Mayor Gina Ortiz Jones is urging city officials to pull the plug on Kanye West's upcoming concert at the city’s Alamodome stadium. The mayor publicly backed canceling the July 4 performance over the weekend, arguing that the rapper's history of antisemitic remarks makes him an inappropriate fit for a city-funded venue, especially on Independence Day. "I support canceling the Ye concert," Jones wrote on X. She later expanded on her stance, saying San Antonio's identity as a military hub should factor into the decision. "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," Jones wrote. "Standing up to antisemitism is exactly what it takes to achieve a more perfect Union."
