Jones said he did not intend to evoke domestic violence memories and apologized to Black women after backlash over honoring Brown.
- State Rep Vernon Jones apologized for honoring Chris Brown during the Tour at AT&T Stadium in Arlington on Saturday, where he presented the musician with a state resolution.
- Jones and Representative Jasmine Crockett sparked backlash by presenting Brown with the resolution, given the musician's 2009 guilty plea for assaulting Rihanna and prior restraining orders from former partners.
- Attending the Tour for voter outreach, Jones and Crockett stated they aimed to mobilize voters for November's midterm elections while documenting what Crockett called "Black joy at the highest level" at the Congressional level.
- Appearing on Don Lemon on Tuesday, Jones specifically apologized to Black women, stating he did not intend to "stoke the traumas" surrounding domestic violence or minimize the situation's background.
