Texas GOP Candidate Bo French Faced Bipartisan Criticism Over Racist Post About Executions
Texas GOP candidate Bo French, who is running for one of the state's most powerful positions, faces bipartisan criticism after posting a racist remark about a University of Texas football crowd. The incident has highlighted his previous history of advocating for public executions.
Bo French, the Republican nominee for Texas' attorney general, faces bipartisan criticism after a racist tweet from 2007 surfaced, in which he called for public executions to discipline unruly crowds at University of Texas football games. The tweet was posted when French was just 17 years old and has since been removed, but not before being captured by the internet archive. French's campaign has struggled to address the issue, with some Republicans distancing themselves from his views. Critics are now calling for French to be held accountable for his past behavior.
