Escalation: Bo French Targets South Asian Students
Bo French, the Republican nominee for the Texas Railroad Commission, posted on X a screenshot from a University of Texas football hype video after the win over Ohio State that showed a student section with several South Asian students. He wrote, "I heard UT graduation this year looked like this. I didn't believe it. The problem is now obviously far worse than anyone imagined."
Multiple top Texas Republicans condemned the posts. One senior Republican said he will vote for French’s Democratic opponent. French now faces public opposition from within his party over remarks that singled out South Asian students.
