Gov. Greg Abbott is canceling his appearance at the National Rifle Association convention in Houston on Friday, days after a gunman killed 21 people, including 19 children, at a Uvalde elementary school.

The governor faced heavy criticism for his decision to attend the event following the massacre. He was scheduled to speak alongside former President Donald Trump and U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, but he will now deliver “pre-recorded video remarks,” Abbott spokesman Mark Miner said.

Instead, Abbott will travel to Uvalde for another press conference on “state resources available for those impacted by the Robb Elementary School shooting.” The event will take place at 3:30 p.m., shortly after the governor was set to address NRA attendees.

It will be Abbott’s second news conference in Uvalde after Tuesday’s shooting. During the first on Wednesday, Abbott rejected any efforts to restrict gun access, instead saying lawmakers should focus on expanding mental health resources in rural areas.

1. Well knock me other with a fucking feather. There it is folks-the line even brain dead, tone deaf

Abbott the killer won’t cross. Dollars to doughnuts Cancun Cruz still goes. He’s the most pathetic fucker in the Republican Party right know, and Odin knows that’s saying something.
