U.S. Senator John Cornyn publicly condemned Bo French, the Republican hopeful 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 called the post as discriminatory and harmful. French is seeking election to on the railroad commission, a public authority. Cornyn's statement is part of the persistent focus on French's social media activity. That attention has been growing for a while.
