Texas Railroad Nominee's Calls for Public Executions Reported

Texas Republican Bo French, nominee to lead the railroad commission, repeatedly urged public executions for political opponents, CNN's KFile reported Sept. 28, 2026. In May 2020, he called for hanging Obama-era officials over the 'Russia hoax,' writing about Barack Obama that treason was once punished by death, even for a former president. In February 2025, he targeted Senator Adam Schiff.
