Bo French, a Republican candidate for the position of Texas Railroad commissioner, has found himself at the center of controversy following recent social media activity. French posted a photo of University of Texas students celebrating a football victory and commented that the scene highlighted “how many Americans have been displaced by foreigners.” This remark was made on September 14, 2026.
The game in question occurred on September 5 in Austin, captured by a photographer from Getty Images, Tim Warner. The image was shared widely.
A significant number of Texas Republicans have criticized French for his remarks, labeling them as racist. The backlash came swiftly, with many within his own party expressing disapproval over the tone and implications of his statement.
