Summary
Texas lawmaker Venton Jones is facing backlash after presenting singer Chris Brown with a state proclamation at a concert—prompting outrage over Brown’s history of violent incidents, including his 2009 assault conviction of Rihanna. Jones issued an apology focused on hurting Black women, while Brown responded by suggesting the lawmakers approached him and questioned the sincerity of the apology as political theater. Both lawmakers removed photos from social media and admitted the event was meant to energize voters ahead of midterms, even as Brown’s recent guilty plea in London for a nightclub brawl adds fuel to the fire.
