U.S. Senator John Cornyn publicly condemned Bo French, the Republican Party nominee for the Texas railroad commission. Cornyn's disapproval highlighted a social media post that French made. That post aimed at students of Asian descent at the University of Texas. Cornyn described the post as racist and intolerant. French is seeking election to on the railroad commission, a state regulatory body. Cornyn's statement is part of the continued scrutiny on French's social media activity. That attention has been increasing over recent weeks.
