Updated: Some Texas GOP lawmakers condemn anti-immigrant rhetoric from RRC Nominee Bo French

State Reps with large South Asian populations in their districts are quick to join Sen. Cornyn in condemning French's words; Abbott barely says anything though

While party leadership including Speaker Dustin Burrorws preach “One Party, One Mission” during the campaign, Texas Railroad Commissioner nominee Bo French on Sunday earned a wave of condemnation from fellow Republicans over his description of brown University of Texas students after their football team won over Ohio State this weekend.

Posting a picture on social media of students of South Asian descent at Darrell K Royal Stadium, French said “I heard UT graduation this year looked like this. I didn’t believe it. The problem is now obviously far worse than anyone imagined.”

That drew immediate criticism from Sen. John Cornyn, who said "This is the Republican nominee for statewide office. Are other Republican elected officials going to condemn the intolerance and racism, or look the other way while it becomes normalized.”

“This is how great political parties self-destruct,” Sen. Cornyn said. “Sad.”

French defended and doubled down on what he had said, though.
