Statement summary
Representative Raja Krishnamoorthi characterized Bo French’s earlier UT Austin fan post as a xenophobic attack while interpreting a later Department of Education post as connected to it.
“The Department of Education seems to be playing dog whistles to Bo French’s tune just days after his xenophobic attack on South Asian students for cheering for their own college football team. South Asian Americans are as American as anyone.”
