U.S. Senator John Cornyn openly criticized Bo French, the Republican hopeful for the Texas railroad commission. Cornyn's censure targeted at a social media post that French made. That post directed toward Asian students at the University of Texas. Cornyn described the post as racist and intolerant. French is campaigning for a seat on the railroad commission, a public authority. Cornyn's statement is part of the continued scrutiny on French's social media activity. That attention has been growing for a while.
