PO1 William "Chip" Nagel Politicians scattering... except of course those without any empathy.
..."Many elected officials who were previously booked to speak at the meeting are no longer doing so. John Cornyn, the state’s senior Senator and a Republican, said he was already planning not speak because of a scheduling conflict and has since become the Republican point person to negotiate with Democrats on gun legislation. Governor Greg Abbott announced he would only deliver pre-recorded remarks.
Meanwhile, Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick said while he supports gun rights, he did not want to cause any additional pain to victims in Uvalde and would not speak at the NRA’s breakfast.
The only major speakers who are still slated to speak are South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem, North Carolina Lieutenant Governor Mark Robinson and former president Donald Trump."
