Social media has lit up with another self-inflicted wound for Republicans, after Texas Railroad Commissioner candidate Bo French reacted to the Texas Longhorns’ massive upset victory over Ohio State last weekend — by attacking the celebrating Longhorns crowd for containing too many fans of South Asian descent sitting together (nearly all of them in Longhorn orange, and some of them in cowboy hats).
A normal human might ask what sort of idiot, running for elective office in Texas, decides to take sides against Longhorn fans when the local team just erased a 20-point deficit to clinch a thrilling one-point win over the top-ranked team in the country, but that is not the only sort of idiot that Bo French is.
