Bo French, the Republican nominee for Texas Railroad Commissioner, sparked outrage and condemnation from both parties after posting a racist tweet targeting students of color celebrating a Texas Longhorns victory. The tweet, which implied that the students were 'foreigners' displacing Americans, led to calls for French to drop out of the race. While some Republicans distanced themselves from French's comments, others remained silent or offered tepid responses.
