U.S. Senator John Cornyn openly criticized Bo French, the Republican Party nominee for the Texas railroad commission. Cornyn's censure targeted at a social media post that French made. That post aimed at students of Asian descent at the University of Texas. Cornyn labeled the post as bigoted and offensive. French is running for a position on the railroad commission, a government oversight agency. Cornyn's statement is part of the ongoing attention on French's online behavior. That attention has been growing for a while.
