Philly’s ex-mayor trashes NYC’s bid to host Democratic Convention

Philadelphia is fighting dirty in its bid to land the 2016 Democratic presidential convention.

Rather than pumping up the City of Brotherly Love as a prime site, former Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell has been trashing rival New York City, The Post has learned.

Rendell, who is close to Hillary Rodham Clinton and was once Philly's mayor — has sent the Democratic National Committee articles casting the Big Apple in a negative light.

One hit job focuses on bedbugs.

Another points to the sweltering heat of the subway platforms in summer, when delegates would be here.

Reached by phone, Rendell said he has been lightheartedly busting the city's chops over a potentially serious problem: transporting thousands of delegates from Manhattan to Barclays Center in Brooklyn during rush hour.

"I think that's the big weakness with New York City's bid: the hotels are in one borough, the convention's in another," he said.

He noted that the article he sent to DNC CEO Amy Dacey was a state agency report on the dangers of the heat in underground stations — which he read about in The Post.
