Behind a paywall but the description is enough.

quote:

Bo French’s bigoted tweet after a football game is part of a long and ugly pattern.

Grok summary:

quote:

Karl Rove's WSJ op-ed details why he's voting for Democrat Jon Rosenthal over Republican Bo French for Texas Railroad Commission. He calls French's post on diverse UT students after a football win "raw, uncut bigotry" and cites prior comments by French as part of a pattern. Rove argues the GOP has a growing number of bigoted voices promoting "heritage America," which diminish the party. He'll vote for only his second Democrat ever (first was in 1994) as the "stables need a cleaning."

heritage America

And of course someone on Wiki had to include this in it's definition of Heritage American:

quote:

In July 2025 United States Vice President JD Vance said "we’re a particular place with a particular people [...] Our ancestors realized that to carve a successful nation from new land meant creating new tangible things, new homes, new towns, new infrastructure to tame a wild continent. That is our heritage as Americans.


Which is 100% true but has nothing to do with Rove's bs.

That whole mentality needs to be purged.

People are stupid. If I didn't like a particular Republican candidate, then I just wouldn't vote for him/her. I would vote 3rd party. I will never pull the lever for a liberal.

I've never understood that about people like Liz Chaney. Like, ok - you don't like Trump. But that means you have to align yourself with Kamala Harris or Gavin Newsome or AOC?

To the weaklings who want to sit out the election and let the communist win. Do you see how many useless POS that have been purged from the Republican Party since the days of Rove and the Bush’s

Nobody in Texas should feel an ounce of regret for dumping that turncoat Cornyn

I dont understand why TXRRC is election based rather than appointment like any other regulatory agency.

Very powerful position....

She’s not wrong. The double standards are obvious and intentionally guilt based.

Rove might be the whitest guy ever and seems to be guilt ridden over it

I find that funny as the current Democrat Party is all about purging white men and American history and culture.

True conservatives vote Democrat and are pro immigration.



Hey, but Trump.
