U.S. Senator John Cornyn harshly denounced Bo French, the Republican hopeful for the Texas railroad commission. Cornyn's censure targeted at a online comment that French made. That post targeted 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 state regulatory body. Cornyn's statement is part of the persistent focus on French's digital conduct. That attention has been increasing for a while.
