Cornyn says he won't vote for Texas Republican Bo French after candidate's controversial post
abc news ^ | September 17, 2026 | Nathan Lee and Diana Paulsen

Outgoing Republican Sen. John Cornyn of Texas said Thursday that he would not vote for Bo French for Texas railroad commissioner following the candidate's "racist comments," which have drawn intense pushback from lawmakers.

"He's an embarrassment to the Republican Party, and he's going to drag the whole ticket down because of his racist comments," Cornyn told the Washington Examiner of French, who is running to be Texas' rail commissioner, a statewide position that regulates the state's oil and natural gas production.

Cornyn said he was unsure whether he would vote for Democratic candidate Jon Rosenthal: "I may just leave it blank."

GOP strategist Karl Rove also said he wouldn't vote for French.

At CPAC, Texas Railroad Commission candidate Bo French calls for deportation of 100 million people

Bo French sounds a lot scarier than Paxton to some voters. But some voters would call me a Nazi.

Oh no! He’s lost the “RINO Vote” (all seven of them - eight if you count the Bushs separately).

Cornyn. MTG. Massie. Kent. They have butt hurt TDS so bad that they’re happy to help the movement that will result in their grandchildren live in communism for the rest of their lives.

It’s hard to wrap your head around such evil.

“Cornyn later said in a post that the “Republican Party is better than this. We should all condemn this bigotry directed at our fellow Texans or we will soon find ourselves a minority party.””

French was not talking about his fellow Texans. He was talking about students on visas.

Now, that statement would not cause a ripple of concern to his fellow Texans, but it gives Rove and Coryn an excuse to not vote for a MAGA adherent.

Where does the 100 million people to be deported come from? I see no such quote at that link.

(Same article, “clean” link, according to Brave Browser.)

I think Jeb counts as half a RINO..........that makes him a WINO.

Republicans certainly are the stupidest party. This guy is running for something like the stamp collecting commission that no one cares about. Democrats are full blown racists every day of the week, rather than talk about that the republican fools are saying this nobody is “dragging down the entire ticket”.
Yeah maybe we should switch out Trump for Kamala because the guy running for Texas road kill commission said something.

Why should this election be any different? I assume Cornyn always just votes a straight Democrat ticket.

If Bo becomes Railroad Commisioner, he becomes the one responsible for regulating the oil and gas industry for the state of Texas.

So it's actually a very big deal.

Purposely importing non-whites as to make White people a minority in their own country is a lot more racist t than anything Bo French said.

--- "Republicans certainly are the stupidest party."

RINOs certainly are stupid. A senator who lost his party primary and a has been "political advisor" busy themselves with portraying another as "racist" is about as "Democrat" as it comes....

As to a "stupidest party," and especially in terms of policy enacted when they get into positions of power, it surely seems the political Left worldwide has a lock on the superlative descriptor -- stupidest.
