Texas Republican Bo French Loses Election After Anti-Indian Remarks
Times of India · politics
Texas Republican Bo French has lost his bid for the Railroad Commission to Democrat Jon Rosenthal by over 600,000 votes. French's defeat follows inflammatory remarks he made on social media targeting Indian-Americans and other brown individuals. His comments suggested Americans were being displaced by foreigners, despite some students he targeted being naturalized citizens. This incident highlights a contradiction within the Republican Party, which has previously courted Indian-American voters and investment, particularly in Texas.
