Republicans Question Texas Railroad Commissioner Candidate Over Social Media Post
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
Texas Republicans have criticized Bo French, a candidate for the state's Railroad Commission, for a racially charged social media post. French shared a photo of South Asian students at the University of Texas celebrating a football victory, commenting that the situation is 'worse than anyone imagined.' Senator John Cornyn condemned the post, urging fellow Republicans to denounce racism. French responded by labeling Cornyn a 'RINO' and claiming Texas institutions are overrun by illegal immigrants. Other officials, including Representative Dan Crenshaw, also criticized French. Governor Greg Abbott distanced himself from the post but noted it did not reflect his views. French has a history of making intolerant remarks.
