U.S. Senator John Cornyn harshly denounced 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 directed toward students of Asian descent at the University of Texas. Cornyn called the post as racist and intolerant. 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 some time.
