Well of course he did. The Democrats are going to hold a 'virtual' convention which no one but party hacks will be able to access, particularly Sanders' supporters. They know if they hold a real convention it would make the 1968 Democrat Convention look like a church picnic.

Why I don't see an uproar about dismantling the DMC? Jefferson Davis=Democrat, Andrew Jackson=Democrat, George Wallace=Democrat. The list goes on and on.

They should go to another state.

Way to go mayor shame on the gop suing mayor didn’t their own president push COVID off on local officials - Houston’s major made a decision based on his city - grow up and accept this convention is not a good idea

Just wait until we have a Democrat President. The game will change so much that the traitor-loving Republicans’ tiny brains will be spinning.

Allen, Texas is a available

YES!!! Now stand by uour decision and do not allow Trump to walk over your good work. If he refuses he will be guilty of gathering without a permit. Contrary to Trump's words..he IS a common man who must follow the law. If not can he put hits on his 'enemies'.

Good for him! the GOP death cult needs an adult to keep them from killing themselves!

But it was ok for Sylvester to host the Floyd funeral! Hmmm!

common sense prevails for a day

Houston Mayor may be a true Republican. He wants to protect those planning to attend the GOP convention. Just allows the protesters to spread the virus freely without any restrictions. We see who you care about.

Good

catlover1943 Good.

peaceandteachin He’s a BOSS!

Ahh! An adult is in charge finally!

There it is everybody - just say no.

Do it anyway. Just call it a BLM rally.

Democrat mayors against patriots

Really. A democrat mayor

Surging

kevinpurcell He made a hard decision for the humane reasons of saving lives and keeping people out of the hospital. Bizarrely he’ll catch a lot of crap from those people for keeping them around to vote for Trump.

Texas Republicans should just do their convention by mail-in voting. Problem solved

Leaders lead.

Oh but he will tolerate looting killing riots,he's got the devil in his heart

Now shut down

DemocratsAreDestroyingAmerica

Like maybe all the mother fuckers we pay!

Reading this article I must point out, we don’t give a fuck if the politicians get Covid. It’s the cleaning lady and the staff we want to protect. The people that have to work and not those we pay. That’s who we have to protect! I hope more people would understand that.

No, please don't stop them and let them go maskless. Poetic justice for those that think this is a hoax or will ebbs as it heats up. Please let them successfully fight this in court. They only way these idiots will learn.

He's still butt hurt about not getting to control that Harvey money.

CNN is a TERRORIST ORGANIZATION. Prove me wrong.

Piece of garbage mayor & tactic. Says I am the mayor with attitude. Whatever. politicalgames Maybe MontgomeryCounty just north can hold. DemocratsAreDestroyingAmerica Must be fair and cancel Democrats must fair equal treatment.

That mayor is responsible for the uptick of the virus. He encouraged the protesters and rioters knowing the virus would spread. Now he wants to stop the GOP convention. That is Political discrimination.

To all the people upset and comparing this to the BLM peaceful protests, the protesters didn’t rely on indoor accomodations and workers tending to their needs like this indoor convention would. Not comparable on many levels. Thank goodness for elected leaders with courage.

Turn Texas purple

Kudos

Terribly courageous to put himself out there for the safety of his constituents.

Thank God.

McClain_on_NFL Sly ain't winning this fight

Riots are ok though

Cases don’t equal deaths.

How is this not election interference

Smart. Tulsa cases have surged since Trump's rally. On average 20% of diagnosed cases require hospital treatment. Researchers find the average charge per COVID-19 patient requiring a hospital stay to be $73,300.

Good and if you Republicans think that's playing dirty well i can name multiple ways trump is playing dirty. So test me

However, if the democrat party would like to have their convention it would be perfectly fine and you're racist if you don't agree! WalkAway people, you can't be with these idiots

Thank you for exercising common sense, Mayor Turner. Thank you for putting the well-being of Houstonians over politics.

I don't think that will sit well with the Republicans. Might Cut off Houston from all federal Funding. the nerve to cancel a week before the convention. Lots of places are wide open however. TyphoonTexas has thousands packed in their water parks.

Almost...unfortunate

Is it still okay to riot?

I wonder why the riots were OK? 🤔

The mayor could've built a giant tent outside city perimeter and allowed GOP participants to all pack in it, no mask. But quarantine the tent and everyone there from the city for a month.

Way to go mayor.

if you all in the US dont no you are heading Towards a Civil war not between north & south as such but black V Pinks as one black man said we are pink'es cant get over how you let people carry guns its not the Wild West guns kill Trust me been in the Forces it only take 1 kill🇬🇧.

🐱💭 CreepyTrump

Thats what im talking about SylvesterTurner way to look out for the city!

OF COURSE he did... anything to obstruct a fair election.... WHOs going to shut down when the 'Murder Hornets ' return?

Oh, look, someone w/common sense!

As he should!!!

Yesterday’s new coronavirus cases: 🇩🇰 10 🇳🇴 11 🇸🇪 57 🇩🇪 298 🇺🇸 55,442

Can't say the same for the shithead mayor of Jacksonville Fl.

That will cause a few Trump tantrums. soon he’ll just say F it I’m taking over the country because I can’t win legally.

Smart
