U.S. Senator John Cornyn harshly denounced Bo French, the Republican hopeful for the Texas railroad commission. Cornyn's disapproval highlighted a online comment that French made. That post aimed at students of Asian descent at the University of Texas. Cornyn labeled the post as discriminatory and harmful. 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 online behavior. That attention has been growing over recent weeks.
