Role at the time: United States senator posting on his own account
Condemned
Statement summary
Cornyn said French had neither removed the post nor apologised but had instead fundraised off it, called the post bigotry directed at fellow Texans, and warned Republicans they would become a minority party.
“We all make mistakes but what does he do? No takedown of offensive post, no apology. Just doubles down and raises $ using it. The Republican Party is better than this. We should all condemn this bigotry directed at our fellow Texans or we will soon find ourselves a minority party.”
