Elephant paraded at Texas GOP convention urinates on floor
A live elephant brought into the Texas Republican Party convention in Houston urinated on the convention hall floor after Gov. Greg Abbott finished his speech. Video shows the elephant relieving itself between the press area and delegates, prompting staff to clear the spot and clean the carpet. Abbott had used the speech to urge major election changes and call for unity ahead of the 2026 midterms, and organizers had paraded the animal as a promotional mascot. The incident raises immediate questions about animal welfare, safety at large political events, and embarrassing optics for Republican organizers as candidates prepare for next year’s campaigns.
The Texas GOP just brought an elephant into the convention hall and it apparently pissed all over the place
Robert Downen1277It smells like piss in here.
Chris Kenney173Too much use out of this one lately

Grover’s Bathtub140Ah, the GOP (Gallons Of Piss)
rev. hochul arson101as someone who has actually spent time with elephants in rural India: this is basically the normal state of elephants
Josie46Using an animal like this is disgraceful and disgusting. 🤢 poor elephant. These people are way more disgusting than this elephants piss.
Clue Heywood45most of the GOP conventioneers know that costs extra
Blue dot girl34They 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.
Glenn Muir26And Colbert got cancelled before this happened, fuck! 🤬
The Raccoon Overlord24Poor elephant. Was probably terrified.
Why are they so weird??
RogerWagnerMDPhD15Not to mention the fact that flesh eating parasites are well established there already.
Jeanette Harrison12If that isn’t emblematic of the Republican Party I don’t know what is … animals know.
Bob Vesterman11uh huh, sure, the elephant did it, likely story I'M LOOKIN' AT YOU, TED CRUZ
Gremlin Gal9Folks, I'd just like to take a moment to address the elephant in the room: Well done, elephant. 10/10, no notes. ANYWAY

Goofierbrute5If that isn't symbolic of the GOP in 2026, I don't know what is.
Michael Hoffman4not sure if [looks at replies] oh wow
Polly_Titian4Elephants are very intelligent so it was a deliberate comment.
Jen Hines4Unconscionable. An appropriate response for their gross display.
Michael Patrick O’Donoghue☘️🏒🥅4ah, Ted Cruz making a grand entrance
CheyenneWriter4Lesser of two evils. They were afraid that if they brought Trump, he'd shit himself.
Michael P. Breen4Even elephants are RINOs in Texas
MJ of Everything is Public Health Production3Incompetence and cruelty at every level
campswampy.bsky.social3Cruel.. right out of the 1800s. GOP are pre historic…
Gayle L3Don’t let Jr. or Eric near it.
Gina Ruiz3Wait till it starts shitting
Frank Walker3There’s a reason circuses used to put straw on the ground.
NonViolet3Anyone who treats an elephant like that deserves to be pissed on. Even better would be to put sequined headdresses and slogans on the Texas GOP and force them to march through the middle of a Dem conference.
Idiokratie2It's what they do. I love elephants as much as the next nerd but they can be pretty gross in certain respects. youtu.be/QvOr1-P6XR8...
Shirley Jennings 🇨🇦 📎2Perfect. He should have been wearing one of Trump’s diapers.
allthinky; No More Billionaires. Fuck ICE. Fuck AI.2Who could have foreseen this?
Elena F.2This happened? They did that?? WOW
Bonesito2How does one bring an elephant somewhere?
Steve Blum | VoiceMonkey/Voice Actor, VO Teacher BlumvoxStudios2Wow the Kompromat on Trump is even weirder than I thought

Okhomegrown2Urine for a wild ride
A large elephant promoting Gov. Greg Abbott urinates heavily at the Texas GOP Convention
Dog person28That’s an abused Elephant. Fuck these people
Alice Lavin15My gosh I hate to see animals treated in this manner. Politics aside, this is cruelty plain and simple.
Impeach Now13JFC a politician using and elephant as a campaign sign. What year is it in Texas, 1886?
Joan MacRae12Even the elephant hates Republicans
I Love Dachshunds.11Poor elephant had to protest the only way they could❤️
Brutal Realist10This 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 Free10Pure 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. 😡
Deirdre5That elephant knew what it was doing. 😂 Also, I wish they wouldn't use elephants for their fodder. 😡
Cannon5Would be funny if they didn't electrocute her in a room full of clapping fools
AlienGhostStory3Look at the shackles on its legs, it probably pissed out of fear, Republicans truly are scum in every sense.
LE Murphy3This is the laugh I needed today. 🤣🤣🤣
Fiona 🇨🇦2Absolutely horrific. The poor animal 😢 Everything is used and abused for laughs and entertainment in the good ‘ol’ USA!
Alice last name2Would have been better if it shat
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 🐘662. 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.
mistymeanorhavuk9it’s unconscionable and grotesque and heartbreaking
doc brianS7Appropriate that the elephant pisses on them.
Sunny6An elephant wearing a banner about “GOP unity” pissing all over their supporters is poetic.
Four Legs Good5They’re monsters. One and all
Shanna Bright4Notice the guy using the hook on the elephant's left front leg. Shame on these monstrous people.
Kathryn Lucht3Because they have no problem abusing sentient creatures long after it became taboo.
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.
Ktmacg2This 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.
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! 🐘🐘🐘
