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.



We need to scalp a few of them too. Fascists only speak violence.
We don’t need them speaking. I belong to team Launch Them Into The Sun.
That’s awful shame on you.
What a horrible waste of precious rocket fuel. Launching them in to deep space takes far less fuel and removes the problem all the same. Especially since we’re not worried about g forces on the rocket cargo.
Fair point. I just kinda like the pageantry of knowing they’ll be panicking as they see it draw closer and closer.
We could have avoided all of this if ever confederate traitor was hung for treason after the civil war.
The same thing should have been done with the J6 group attempting to overthrow our nations democracy. Instead they were pardoned and pointed to as patriots. It’s embarrassing and a complete disgrace to the word patriot.
