She put the P in GOP.
Convention-goers gasped Friday after an elephant relieved itself as it strolled through the assembly hall at a Texas Republican Party gathering.
Gov. Greg Abbott had just finished his keynote at the Texas GOP convention in Houston when the Paige, a 9-foot-tall and nearly 9,000 pound African elephant, made a surprise entrance.
Paige promptly urinated in the aisle between the press area and state delegates, according to several reporters who posted video of the incident on social media.
“Oh, shoot!” a stunned onlooker cried as the elephant widened her stance and emptied her tank while Brooks & Dunn’s “Only in America” blared in the background.
An adult African elephant can void up to 3 gallons of urine in a single session, and after what seemed like that amount of pee cascaded onto the convention floor, Paige nonchalantly went on her way, led by her handlers.

“ Paige promptly urinated in the aisle between the press area and state delegates…”
If Paige is a true Republican, I know which side of the aisle she was aiming at.
I’m guessing that she let it fly all over in a truly nonpartisan manner.
"Under the most carefully controlled conditions, the wildlife will do as it damn pleases."
Nice metaphor for the Republican party right now.
Imagine if it was an Indian Elephant.
She read the banners as “GO P”.
Not quite as much pee and a red dot on its forehead?
Has Paige ever been in a Moscow hotel room?
Good one!
While the phrase “Paige promptly pissed a plunderous puddle” is amusing, it’s obvious that someone was not properly tending this animal. At public events, elephants would typically be led around by a handler with some kind of leash. The article never discussed who that animal handler voted for back in 2024.
The quality of GOP event planning has obviously slipped a bit. Nixon’s advance men had a firm rule to never have any events with elephants.
Missed on the media??? Good boy...!

That’s a lotta beer to let go of. When you gotta go, ya gotta go. My dad said once you’re over 40 you’re pissing or looking for a place too. Wonder how old the elephant is? 😅
Beat me to it. Great observation.
Trump should bring Paige to the White House for the next press briefing...
It would have pooped in the street.
Put your horse in your horse trailer, first thing it does is take a crap. My theory, it knows that you cleaned and hosed it out after the last trip. It’s pay back for not having a horse treat or being late opening the corral gate to the pasture that day. IMO
“...an elephant relieved itself as it strolled through the assembly hall at a Texas Republican Party gathering...”
Compare this to democrat run cities like San Francisco where the homeless voters urinate and defecate on public streets, with the full support of the mayor and police commission. /spit
Oh thee glee,
Makes no mews good news from these goobers
