Former President Donald Trump started off his speech Friday at the National Rifle Association's annual summit in Texas by taking a jab at GOP Gov. Greg Abbott for not appearing in person.
Trump said that "unlike some," he "didn't disappoint" the audience by not showing up.
Abbott decided on Thursday night to skip the NRA summit and make a return trip to Uvalde, the town in which an gunman killed 19 children and two teachers inside the Robb Elementary School on Tuesday.
Abbott recorded video remarks that will be shown at the NRA event instead of making an in-person appearance.
Trump also began his speech with reading the names of all the victims of the school shooting, calling "each soul taken" an "incomprehensible loss."
