Liberal Austin, Texas city government has used the virus ploy to insult Texas veterans by canceling the annual Veterans Day parade. Other events of larger attendance have been cleared. But Austin hates America thus Austin hates those who protect America. Just for male residents of the city, bring back the draft.

FNC: Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has invited military veterans in Austin, Texas to gather at the state capitol building after their Veterans Day parade was cancelled due to the city’s coronavirus restrictions.”

“The City of Austin’s overreaching COVID requirements have forced the Austin Veterans Parade Foundation to cancel their annual event,” the Republican governor tweeted Tuesday. “I’m inviting them to host a rally on the south steps of the Texas State Capitol. We celebrate our nation’s heroes in Texas.”

The city’s excuse, “Every year, Austin Center for Events (ACE) works with the Austin Veterans Parade Foundation, the event organizers of the Veterans Parade…The organizers did not submit a COVID-19 Health & Safety form to Austin Public Health for review…At this time, Austin was in Stage 4 of the Risk Based Guidelines and the region had 25 ICU beds left to serve millions of Central Texans. The City is now working with the Parade Foundation on a ribbon cutting dedication ceremony for the Veteran’s Pocket Park.” Horse manure. Wonder if the University of Texas football stadium is in use? It is? Gee, what a surprise.

The organizers of the parade tried to be diplomatic. “This is something that we could not do as we anticipated some 30,000 attendees to the parade,” the parade organizers said in a statement.  “We are hopeful that in 2022, the restrictions on public gatherings will be back to normal. In lue of the parade, we are working with the City of Austin and the Austin Veterans Commission to dedicate the Veterans Park on Nov. 11th.”

But some citizens were not happy at all with the city. “It’s a slap in the face to those who served. It’s for an open air parade,” Luis Rodriguez, head of the Wind Therapy Motorcycle Freedom Riders, told Axios. “They allowed Formula 1 to go ahead, and that had five times the number of people as the Super Bowl. They did nothing to shut that down. They’re playing politics with the honor of veterans and those who have served this country.”
