Condemned

Response to this claim

French’s posts demeaned the pictured people because of their race or ethnicity.

“This is racist. It is wrong. And I condemn it without reservation. There is absolutely nothing Christian or conservative about looking at a crowd of young Texans at a college football game, seeing the color of their skin, and declaring that they are a “problem.””
