Texas Democrat Candidate Charged with Sending Himself Racist Messages
Breitbart ^ | June 16, 2024 | Paul Bois

Taral Patel, a Democrat candidate for Fort Bend Precinct 3 Commissioner in Texas, has been arrested and charged with Online Impersonation and Misrepresentation of Identity after he allegedly sent fake hate messages to himself on social media.

The Texas Rangers arrested Patel after he allegedly spent months sending racist and demeaning comments to himself while impersonating a “supporter of incumbent Republican Commissioner Andy Meyers,” per Fox News.

“According to the arrest record for Patel, the investigation was launched in October 2023 after Meyers requested authorities to look into who was responsible for the vitriolic comment made at Patel,” noted the outlet.

Patel even went as far as to use the real image of a Fort Bend resident as a profile picture for one of the hateful commenters without the individual’s consent.

In one particular Facebook post, Patel shared some of the alleged hateful comments to his supporters, saying they represented a “deep and misguided fear” in the Republican Party.

“As your Democratic candidate for County Commissioner, I am always open to criticism of my policy positions and stances on issues,” Patel said. “However, when my Republican opponents supporters’ decide to hurl racist, anti-immigrant, Hinduphobic, or otherwise disgusting insults at my family, faith community, colleagues, and me – that crosses a line.”

Fort Bend County Republican Party Chairman Bobby Eberle called Patel’s alleged behavior “deeply concerning.”

“Whether Republican or Democrat, such tactics should be unequivocally condemned by all who value integrity and accountability in politics,” Eberle said in a statement. “This is not a partisan issue, and the good people of Fort Bend County should be able to trust that when allegations are made, they are sincere.”

He came off the boat and fit right in to the Democrats hands.

Now he’s going to find out what American jails are like.

Hinduphobic

First time I heard that phrase.

These immigrants learn fast. Get off the boat, cry racism, win cash & prizes.

Deeply concerning? I bet he used words little stronger than that.

The market for racist events is much bigger than the supply, thus the number of events like this that occur.

I object to this scoundrel’s term “Hinduphobic.” The standard practice for anything -phobic is to tack on the Greek word or prefix for the relevant thing being feared. Thus, I think it should be “Indikephobic.”

His parents immigrated here from India, he got a better life filled with endless opportunities and he sh!ts on Americans and our political system by lying about racist actions that HE committed against himself.

He could have driven his constituents to acts of violence agains Republicans - something democrats are very well known for.

Has he ever practiced as a physician? I can’t find anything about his prior work history.

This guy is a fraud who deserves to be tossed out of his election... but it seems a bizarre overreach to charge someone with “online impersonation” of himself.
