Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner sharply responded to Connecticut Gov. Ned Lamont after he called Houston “butt ugly” during 2023 Final Four.
, “After winning the semi-finals, you walk around downtown Houston, which is butt-ugly, [there’s] not much there.”Turner responded to the governor’s comments, saying he is “disappointed” about the “classless comments” made about his city.
“Houston is not butt ugly, Houston is a clean city,” Turner said. “The downtown area is clean, the restaurants are phenomenal.” “I am very proud and I know Houstonians are very proud of Houston as a whole and downtown as well,” Turner continued. “And the skyline, is just one for anybody to see ... so, he’s just factually wrong, but again, I don’t know what he’s been exposed to and if you haven’t been exposed to much, sometimes you don’t recognize things when you become exposed to it.”
