HOUSTON, Texas -- Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner announced on Wednesday that the city has canceled its contract with the GOP convention, which was scheduled at the George R. Brown Convention Center on July 16.
"Look, these are some very serious times, and the safety of the people attending the convention, the employees, their family members, the people in the city of Houston, have their public health concerns," Turner said. "First responders, police, fire, and municipal workers will all be in contact or in close proximity to this indoor gathering. Simply, the public health concerns outweighed anything else."

I hope lawsuits are in the making as he speaks.
During Wednesday’s news conference, Turner also addressed the protests that were held in Houston after the death of George Floyd.
“If you want to march outside, you can do that. That’s your First Amendment right. You don’t need a permit from me,” Turner said.
I hope lawsuits are in the making as he speaks.
I have read of no such lawsuit filed by the Texas Republican Party.
We all know what would have happened if it was a Rat convention.
Nothing
RAT stereotype marching right along with the other anti-Trump RATs....right on cue.
Texas Democrats already had their convention.
RAT stereotype marching right along with the other anti-Trump RATs....right on cue. ......... He was given his marching orders, and he only obeying them so he can keep his good “paying” job.
Mail in ballots won't be counted for a week or more.
Democrats will demand every mail in ballot post marked after the election be counted because 'all vote matter'.
Every result for every election will be challenged in court and when it's all said and done NO ONE will trust the results.
And Gov. Abbott is a useless GOP Cuck!
May as well cancel the election and call for a constitutional emergency. I’m not kidding. The left will stop at NOTHING to takeover this country.
Tejas needs to cancel Houston.
It’s far too humid.
If today were July 9th, 2019 we wouldn’t be talking about coronavirus, racial strife and the full disruption of American society because none of this crap would be happening. But since the calendar says 2020 all of this evil is occurring with more to come before Election Day. The Democrats and the rest of their Deep State allies will go to any lengths to get Trump out of office, and that means destroying the country in the process if that’s what it takes to achieve that goal.
The president needs to appoint a blue ribbon counsel to comb through all of the medical record. I now hear the term, Covid-related deaths.
It's going to be a nightmare.
If any Democrat loses they're going to be screaming 'BECAUSE OF COVID PEOPLE DIDN'T FEEL SAFE GOING OUT TO VOTE!'
And as I said, with everything happening at once, NO ONE will trust the results.
Earl Gray? Really?
Again not a single word about thousands rioting, no social distancing’ & nobody washing their hands.
This election will result in more rioting, more oppression from liberal mayors & governors. And more violent attacks on white/religious people.
The time of civil unrest will continue & worsen regardless of who wins.
the same mayor that walked hand in hand with blm terrorists during the riots?
[[We all know what would have happened if it was a Rat convention.]]
Why he would of course say:
“Look, these are some very serious times, and the safety of the people attending the convention, the employees, their family members, the people in the city of Houston, have their public health concerns,” Turner said. “First responders, police, fire, and municipal workers will all be in contact or in close proximity to this indoor gathering. Simply, the public health concerns outweighed anything else.”

I would not put it past the Deep State to initiate a full-on nuclear war.
ANYTHING to stop Trump, even the extinction of the entire human race.
