Democrats fault Republicans planning to attend NRA convention days after shooting

During a video call with reporters on Thursday, Rep. Colin Allred, D-Dallas, accused GOP politicians of pandering to their political base and gun lobbyists instead of focusing on crafting legislative solutions to gun violence.

“I am so sickened to see so many Republicans — especially Texas Republicans after what’s happened here — carry on with their plans to attend the NRA convention in Houston this weekend,” Allred said.
