Elephant paraded at Texas GOP convention urinates on floor
A live elephant paraded into the Texas Republican Party convention in Houston and urinated on the convention hall floor after Gov. Greg Abbott finished his speech, soaking the area between press and delegates. Video published by local outlets shows handlers leading the animal through the hall during the event that finalized Texas GOP nominees for the 2026 midterm elections. The episode raised immediate questions about using live animals as political props and became an awkward, literal interruption as Abbott urged party unity and donor support.
The Texas GOP just brought an elephant into the convention hall and it apparently pissed all over the place

rev. hochul arson112as someone who has actually spent time with elephants in rural India: this is basically the normal state of elephants
Josie57Using an animal like this is disgraceful and disgusting. 🤢 poor elephant. These people are way more disgusting than this elephants piss.
Clue Heywood48most of the GOP conventioneers know that costs extra
Blue dot girl39They don’t deserve to use the majestic elephant as their “mascot” and poor thing for being brought indoors. Wish it had done more than pee.
The Raccoon Overlord32Poor elephant. Was probably terrified.
Glenn Muir30And Colbert got cancelled before this happened, fuck! 🤬

RogerWagnerMDPhD19Not to mention the fact that flesh eating parasites are well established there already.
Jeanette Harrison16If that isn’t emblematic of the Republican Party I don’t know what is … animals know.
Bob Vesterman12uh huh, sure, the elephant did it, likely story I'M LOOKIN' AT YOU, TED CRUZ

edpalomarez.bsky.social2I thought this was just a metaphorical skeet about Paxton.
Doug2Elephant: Dude, I gotta wizz. Seriously dude, I gotta wizz. Too late. Sorry, not sorry.
bluemapperpa08.bsky.social2I enjoy a good Ken Paxton metaphor as much as anyone, but that seems a little on the nose.
Civil Disobedience2Elephants shouldn't be used as props. Good for the elephant he showed them exactly what he thought.

StatCat3If that ain’t a metaphor
josiehogan.bsky.social3This planet deserves better than us. What a shitty thing to put that animal through.
🌻Tyler Breuch2Hats off to the trainer giving it gallons of Gatorade.
BiRdMaNsf67 🌈2Animal exploitation. The use of the bullhook physically harms elephants www.elephantvoices.org/elephants-in...

Tom McCudden2Did it also fall asleep at a cabinet meeting and a basketball game?
Surviving Texas2Absolutely fucking fantastic. Take that Abbott!
A large elephant promoting Gov. Greg Abbott urinates heavily at the Texas GOP Convention
Dog person33That’s an abused Elephant. Fuck these people
Alice Lavin18My gosh I hate to see animals treated in this manner. Politics aside, this is cruelty plain and simple.
Impeach Now16JFC a politician using and elephant as a campaign sign. What year is it in Texas, 1886?
Joan MacRae15Even the elephant hates Republicans
I Love Dachshunds.12Poor elephant had to protest the only way they could❤️
Brutal Realist12This is cruelty to elephants, and they should never do this. But bravo to the elephant for taking a big piss.
Resister Sister Nicki Hates tRump for Free12Pure exploitation of an animal that should be in the wild, or at least in a reputable sanctuary. Everything about the Republikkkan party is despicable. The cruelty is always the point. 😡
Cannon6Would be funny if they didn't electrocute her in a room full of clapping fools
Deirdre5That elephant knew what it was doing. 😂 Also, I wish they wouldn't use elephants for their fodder. 😡
Fiona 🇨🇦4Absolutely horrific. The poor animal 😢 Everything is used and abused for laughs and entertainment in the good ‘ol’ USA!
LE Murphy4This is the laugh I needed today. 🤣🤣🤣
AlienGhostStory3Look at the shackles on its legs, it probably pissed out of fear, Republicans truly are scum in every sense.
Curry Haley2GOP continues to piss on Texas.
Alice last name2Would have been better if it shat
Belcaro2A premonition of November when Paxon gets peed on?
1. The Texas GOP having an elephant at its convention means the Texas GOP enables animal abuse. And Governor Greg Abbot’s name is on the banner, which also means he condones and enables the abuse of an elephant.
Yashar Ali 🐘782. It is biologically and behaviorally impossible to have an elephant become controllable in this fashion without subjecting it to abuse. Elephants are not domesticated. In order to accomplish this sort of obedience, you have to break the elephant down.
mistymeanorhavuk10it’s unconscionable and grotesque and heartbreaking
doc brianS8Appropriate that the elephant pisses on them.
Sunny7An elephant wearing a banner about “GOP unity” pissing all over their supporters is poetic.
Four Legs Good6They’re monsters. One and all
Shanna Bright5Notice the guy using the hook on the elephant's left front leg. Shame on these monstrous people.
Kathryn Lucht4Because they have no problem abusing sentient creatures long after it became taboo.
Ktmacg3This is so freaking dangerous! The school that I used to work at had the students go to a raising of the roof for a circus that came to town. Just a bunch of kids under a red tarp tent with 2 giant elephants.
gacyclist.bsky.social2And thats an African elephant which are not so easily trained as Indian elephants. Its obscene. Im glad he pissed all over the stage.
larryvedder.bsky.social2The elephant seemed to have a strong opinion on the party!
Meanwhile, in Texas, Governor "Hot Wheels" thought it would be fun to bring a real elephant mascot to the GOP Convention in Texas. The elephant had a different idea and pissed all over his event. 🤣 Piss Off Abbott. You can't keep Texas Red.
We're Not Home4Don't ask me why but I had to look up how much an elephant can pee at one time - 2.5 to 5 gallons. Now you know 😜
spaceager.bsky.social3The prophecy has been fulfilled
Mkate Paski2I hope he stomps on his wheel and gives him a flat.
Mkate Paski2What an apropos metaphor for those maga cultists! 🐘🐘🐘
