Bo French, who is running to lead a state agency, has in the past posted controversial and racist statements online
Bo French, a Texas Republican running to lead a powerful state agency, has a history of making controversial social media posts, including calling for the public execution of Democratic leaders, according to a recent investigation from CNN’s KFile team.
French, who is running to lead Texas’s railroad commission, has recently faced criticism from members of his own party after making a racist post on social media. Powerful Republicans, including the Texas senator John Cornyn, said they would not support French in the upcoming election.
But the latest spat over French’s social media has led to a deeper look at his online history. In a review of old posts from social media accounts that seemingly belonged to French, CNN’s KFile team found that the Texas Republican repeatedly called for public executions of opponents.
In 2020, French used a now-suspended X account to seemingly call for the execution of former president Barack Obama and other Obama administration officials that he believed had disseminated false information about Russia’s involvement in the 2016 presidential election.



I love that when Republicans call for people to be murdered it’s not a crime, but if I posted that Republicans should be executed I’d probably be in jail
People were losing their jobs for repeating things Charlie Kirk said word for word. But there was no pearl clutching when he said that “some patriot” should bail out the man who attacked Paul Pelosi with a hammer. Not uproar over trump saying he was glad that Robert Mueller had died. They know that they’re hypocrites, but they’ve realized that decency and the social contract in general can be wielded as a cudgel if your side collectively agrees to give themselves a pass.
You just need to post 8647 and they try to throw you in jail.
Reminds me of the CEO of Flock who said that people taking down flock cameras are terrorists, like antifa.
