Native Concepts

Crazy s**t!

While the killing of Renee Good and Alex Pretti in Minneapolis set off waves of protest and revulsion—and made significant dents in President Trump’s approval rating—would-be railroad commissioner Bo French has been thirstily seeking approval from far-right influencers for his big idea: rounding up, denaturalizing, and deporting 100 million people— nearly one out of every three people in the country—whom he dubs “foreigners.”

One of French’s favorite phrases is “third world savages”—which he has applied to Afghan asylum seekers, Muslims, and even Native Americans, who he also wants deported. How much is the Texas GOP willing to stomach from him? “The most interesting thing about French is that, at the end of the day, he is tolerated and accepted as part of the Republican coalition,” said Matt Angle, a Fort Worth–based Democratic political consultant. “If all the Republicans who don’t like Bo French would get in the same room, they could shove him out, but they won’t acknowledge each other and they don’t have the courage to do it.”
