As NRA meeting begins, Houston preps for Trump appearance — but Abbott drops out as protests planned
The governor faced heavy criticism for his decision to attend the event following the massacre. He will now deliver “pre-recorded video remarks” rather than appear in person, Abbott spokesman Mark Miner said.
Mayor Sylvester Turner faced pressure to cancel the NRA meeting, but stopped short of doing so. “We don’t have the luxury to cancel a convention that has been on the books for two years,” he said Thursday, adding that the liability in doing so would be too costly for the city. Zones for protesters and counter-protesters will be set up as an attempt to avoid clashes, Finner said, warning that graduations for Fort Bend ISD are scheduled Saturday at the nearby Toyota Center.
