U.S. Senator John Cornyn openly criticized Bo French, the Republican Party nominee for the Texas railroad commission. Cornyn's criticism focused on a Twitter message that French made. That post directed toward Asian-American pupils at the University of Texas. Cornyn labeled the post as discriminatory and harmful. French is running for a position on the railroad commission, a public authority. Cornyn's statement is part of the ongoing attention on French's digital conduct. That attention has been building over recent weeks.
