A GENUINE BIGOT WHO'LL NEVER BE MENTIONED ON A SUNDAY D.C. TALK SHOW

Democratic establishmentarians continue to attack Zohran Mamdani.

Hakeem Jeffries on Mamdani: "'Globalizing the intifada' by way of example is not an acceptable phrasing. He's gonna have to clarify his position on that as he moves forward."

But I don't see the national media asking anyone about this guy:
Religious leaders and advocates were calling for the removal of Tarrant County GOP chair Bo French in response to a social media post they described as divisive and inflammatory.

French posted a poll Wednesday for his 28,000 followers on X to vote on whether they believed "Jews" or "Muslims" were the "bigger threat to America."

... The Republican Party of Texas did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
French has since removed the poll.

Tarrant County isn't some podunk backwater. It's the fourteenth-largest county in America by population, with a population of more than 2.2 million. It includes Fort Worth, the tenth-largest city in America.

French's tweet has been denounced by the Republican mayor of Fort Worth, Mattie Parker, as well as by Craig Goldman, a Republican who represents part of Fort Worth in Congress. He's also been condemned by Texas lieutenant governor Dan Patrick, but not, as fas as I can tell, by Governor Greg Abbott, by attorney general and likely future senator Ken Paxton, or by the state's current senators, Ted Cruz and John Cornyn.

This is hardly the first time French has said something offensive, as The Texas Tribune noted last October:
“This is the gayest ad in history,” French, 55, wrote in an Oct. 11 response to a Democratic advertisement on X, formerly known as Twitter. “Guarantee every one of these ‘dudes’ is a homo. There is literally nothing manly about any of them.”

“Retard strength,” he wrote Tuesday under a video from the Major League Baseball World Series. "Never go full retard," he said in response to former Republican U.S. Rep. Liz Cheney on Oct. 4.

In another post, French polled his 14,000 followers about the upcoming election between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump. “If you believe Harris’ policies are better for Americans than Trumps’ policies, you are:” he asked before listing four choices. “Ignorant,” “A liar,” “Retarded,” or “Gay.”
(Apparently, the earlier controversies helped French double his follower count, from 14,000 to 28,000. It's more than 30,000 now.)
... French has continued to pull the Tarrant County GOP further right. In September, the party hosted Jack Posobiec, a prominent far-right activist who has praised Chilean autocrat Augusto Pinochet and Spanish fascist dictator Francisco Franco, both of whom oversaw the murder, torture or imprisonment of hundreds of thousands of their political opponents.

And in July, French joined other Republican leaders onstage at a conference in Fort Worth that urged attendees to resist a Democratic campaign to “rid the earth of the white race” and embrace Christian nationalism. The event was held by True Texas Project ... whose leaders have sympathized with the racist motives of the gunman who murdered 23 Hispanic people at an El Paso WalMart in 2019. The conference included several speakers who have frequently collaborated with white nationalists or eugenicists, prompting far-right Republicans such as former U.S. Rep. Louie Gohmert and former State Sen. Don Huffines to condemn or pull out of the event.
If you're hanging out with people who are too far right for Louie Gohmert, you really are at the extreme edge.

On X this week, French called Supreme Court justice Ketanji Brown Jackson a "subtard" and described her dissent in Trump v. CASA as "Example number 47 million why DEI is dangerous." He responded to Zohran Mamdani's primary victory by saying, "Deport the islamitard." And he calls for the deportation of 100 million people, including "60 million illegals," which is probably five times the actual number of undocumented people in America.


He also wants to stop all legal migration and resume it under a regime in which immigrants can be deported unless they "swear to uphold American and Christian values."


And if you're merely a native-born Democrat? You're a murderous totalitarian.


But the national press sees this as completely unremarkable. In our dominant media narrative, Republicans are the normal, mainstream, moderate party, while all Democrats are expected to struggle every day to convince us that they aren't extremists.
