Controversial Tarrant County GOP Chair Bo French is under fire again, this time for tweeting out a poll asking whether “Jews” or “Muslims” pose a bigger threat to the United States

French, who's come under previous scrutiny for offensive online remarks, shared the poll as tensions between Israel and Iran remain high and as both Jews and Muslims in the U.S. report rising incidents of bias against them. As of press time, the poll had racked up nearly 900 votes and more than 16,000 views

Who is a bigger threat to America?

Many who responded to French’s survey called out its bigotry
“As a Jew who has spent his entire adult life in Texas, GOP politics, and conservative activism, I’ve been blessed to know so many faithful walkers on the path of Jesus who would be nauseated by this bigotry,” X user @WacoYid commented. “I hope someone like them can lead you to repent[…]
French didn't immediately respond to the Current’s request for comment on the poll. However, in a follow-up post, French clarified that he doesn’t think Jews are as big a threat as “radical Islam”
“You may not like Jews, but to suggest they are a bigger threat to Americans is Jew Derangement Syndrome,” French wrote[…]
It’s not the first time the chairman of the Republican Party for the nation’s largest red county has landed in hot water for posting offensive comments. In 2024, French grabbed headlines for repeatedly using the words “gay” and “retarded” as slurs in social media posts, promoting condemnation from several high-profile Tarrant County GOP officials

U.S. Rep. Chip Roy, a Republican whose district includes a swath of North San Antonio, called for the "cleansing" of progressives in a rant posted Friday on social media platform X

The GOP congressman, who's made inflammatory comments part of his political brand, fired off the tweet in a defense of Trump's plans to deport some 20 million migrants if elected president. Some on social media have said Trump's plan amounts to ethnic cleansing

"Tell you what – I do want to 'ethnic cleanse' by deporting white progressive Democrats – with a special bonus for rich ones with an Ivy League degree," Roy tweeted. "I really do not like 'those people'"

For what it's worth, Roy earned a bachelor's degree from the University of Virginia and a law degree from the University of Texas at Austin. Not exactly Ivy League, but pretty prestigious schools just the same

Roy's comment came in response to a tweet by Will Stancil, an attorney and research fellow at the Institute of Metropolitan Opportunity in Minneapolis. In his tweet, Stancil railed against Trump's deportation plan

"Deporting 20 million people is absoluletly ethnic cleansing," Stancil wrote. "That's litteraly the population of New York State, or half the Midwest. It's 6% of the whole population! Someone from every classroom, workplace, or street. It's small children, working mothers, whole families"[…]
Either way, a call for "ethnic cleansing" by a sitting U.S. Congressman — even if made in jest — ignited angry responses on X[…]
Even so, some agreed with Roy's remark

"We're with you brother," user @chrischownyk commented. "It's time to take back our constitutional republic"
