Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) has responded to the dozens of bands who have pulled out of this year’s SXSW Festival in protest of its sponsorship deal with the U.S. Army.
“Bye. Don’t come back,” Abbott wrote Tuesday in a post on X. “We are proud of the U.S. military in Texas. If you don’t like it, don’t come here.”
Bands pull out of SXSW over U.S. Army sponsorship.
Bye. Don’t come back.
Austin remains the HQ for the Army Futures Command.
San Antonio is Military City USA.
We are proud of the U.S. military in Texas.
If you don’t like it, don’t come here. https://t.co/t3RyQgLRKN

The band boycott of SXSW comes after the festival signed on the U.S. Army as a “super sponsor.” But many other organizations and companies are also sponsoring this year’s edition, including the sports energy drink C4, Porsche, and the left-wing Austin Chronicle newspaper.
SXSW is also holding a number of events featuring defense contractors and government agencies, including the CIA.

Texas is following FL in finally cleaning up the state.
“Are they expecting that if they get some recruits from there, that the enlistees will be able to just throw themselves at the enemy and jab them with their piercings?”
Or turn them into human Claymores with the addition of a ¼ block of TNT. 😁
THIS is what happens when an area gets taken over by northern east coast andcwest coast libs. Austin is a nest of these people.

I believe these are the very lunatics who are going to be responsible for the deaths of tens of millions of Americans.
Fag bands are boycotting
Not exactly headliners.
Good for him!
BTTT
Abbott is 100% correct, but as a taxpayer, the Army sponsoring SXSW is just STUPID! This is tantamount to Dunkin and Krispy Kreme sponsoring weight loss conventions!
I would bet at least 90% of the people who attend and support SXSW would never, and I mean Russian tanks in Portland, Chinese tanks in downtown Houston, Atlanta on fire, and Los Angeles under water, they still would NEVER sign up to fight for America - PERIOD!
The US Army would be better off putting that money in a big pile inside the middle of one of the NUMEROUS homeless camps around Austin and setting it on fire for warmth...they have a better chance of getting THOSE people to enlist than the attendees half-naked on 6th street every dang night of SXSW!!
Yep. I am stuck living among these damn fools😡😡😡😡😡
