U.S. Senator John Cornyn publicly condemned Bo French, the GOP candidate for the Texas railroad commission. Cornyn's criticism focused on a online comment that French made. That post targeted Asian students at the University of Texas. Cornyn described the post as discriminatory and harmful. French is campaigning for a seat on the railroad commission, a public authority. Cornyn's statement is part of the ongoing attention on French's digital conduct. That attention has been increasing over recent weeks.
