According to his cabinet, the politician, who is out for re-election in November, will record a video message that will be shown at the convention in Houston.
On the contrary, he goes to Uvalde, where on Tuesday nineteen children and two teachers were shot dead in the shooting. The Republican governor will meet state officials there. Then he gives a press conference.
Former President Donald Trump has said he will honor his appointment with the NRA to speak and that he has “an important message for America.”
Several American country artists have canceled their act at the annual meeting of the powerful gun lobby NRA. That writes ‘Houston Chronicle’ Friday. Earlier, the singer Don McLean (“American Pie” and “Vincent”) had also sent his cat.
These are Larry Gatlin, Larry Stewart, Danielle Peck, T. Graham Brown and Lee Greenwood. “We have decided to cancel the concert out of respect for all those who mourn the loss of innocent children and teachers in Uvalde,” the latter said.
Calls have been made to the NRA to cancel their “high mass” in Houston, a four-hour drive from Uvalde, but they went unheeded.
