Several Texas Republicans Condemn Bo French’s Racist Posts Calling Asian Students at UT a “Problem”
Cornyn said the Texas GOP nominee’s post showed intolerance and racism and urged Republican officials to condemn it.
- On Sunday, Senator John Cornyn, R-Texas, condemned Republican nominee Bo French for social media posts displaying "intolerance and racism," challenging other GOP officials to either denounce the remarks or watch the party self-destruct.
- French posted an image Sunday from Saturday's Texas-Ohio State game showing stadium celebrants, captioning it: "I heard UT graduation this year looked like this. The problem is now obviously far worse than anyone imagined."
- University of Texas enrollment data contradicts French's implications: Texas residents comprised more than 80% of students in 2025-26, while international students made up less than 10% of enrollment.
- Texas House Speaker Dustin Burrows called for French to delete the post, stating "you can oppose immigration policy without demeaning people because of their race and ethnicity." Governor Greg Abbott declined to denounce French.
- Cornyn's criticism reflects his increasingly vocal stance since losing his May 26 primary to Trump-backed Attorney General Ken Paxton; French faces Democrat Jon Rosenthal on November 3 for the Texas Railroad Commission seat.
