2 Republican lawmakers are skipping the NRA's leadership convention this weekend, but said it's not because of the Texas school shooting

Two Republican lawmakers confirmed on Wednesday that they wouldn't be attending an event hosted by the National Rifle Association in Houston, Texas.

The reasons for missing the leadership conference were unrelated to the shooting at the Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas.

The Texas congressman will be in Ukraine at the time of the conference, according to a report. Before the shooting occurred, Crenshaw informed the organizers of the conference that he wouldn't be able to attend, according to Justin Discigil.

The senator would not be speaking at the event and organizers were notified before the shooting took place. In Cornyn's case, the spokesman cited an unexpected change in his schedule.

Cornyn has to be in D.C. for personal reasons on Friday.

As of press time, both Crenshaw and Cornyn were still listed as scheduled speakers.

Donald Trump, Gov. Greg Abbott, and Sen. Ted Cruz are all scheduled to speak at the event.

Cruz was criticized by a democrat for planning to speak at the conference.

Are you going to headline a speaking gig for the NRA in Houston in three days? You can do more than pray, according to the response to Cruz's post.

Newsweek reported that Abbott skirted the question when asked if he planned to call off his appearance at the event on Friday.

Trump doubled down on his commitment to attend the event.

America needs real solutions and real leadership in this moment, not politicians and partisanship, according to the former president.

The annual meeting of the National Rifle Association will go ahead as planned, despite the shooting that the organization blamed on a deranged criminal. The group is not allowing firearms on the event premises due to Secret Service safety restrictions.
