It was contemporaneous with the 1992 Republican National Convention, and delegates were greeted at the gate by someone dressed in a pink elephant costume.
Well for the Texas Republican Convention, they brought in a live elephant, which pissed on the floor as Governor Abbott was finishing his speech to delegates.
This has to be a metaphor for something.
An African elephant weighing roughly 4 tons that was brought to the Texas Republican party’s annual convention to excite attenders ended up drawing widespread attention for the wrong reasons after she urinated on the convention floor and became the focus of animal welfare concerns.
Inside the George R Brown convention center in Houston on Friday, attenders had been told to prepare for a “larger-than-life surprise” after governor Greg Abbott finished his keynote speech. Organizers also displayed a message asking people to keep the aisles clear.
Shortly after Abbott concluded his remarks, Paige, an African elephant, entered the convention hall adorned with a large campaign-themed banner. As Paige moved through the venue, she suddenly halted and relieved herself, according to videos shared online.
Given the proclivities of Republicans, I am surprised that a fight did not break out for the opportunity of one of them to get underneath the elephant at the time.
Governor Abbott closed out his speech at the Texas GOP convention with a live elephant. It then peed on the floor as it left the room.
