North Texas Republican Party chair posts online poll asking whether 'Jews' or 'Muslims' are bigger threat
The survey comes amid heightened threats against Jews and Muslims in the United States.

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.
Many who responded to Frenchs survey called out its bigotry.
As a Jew who has spent his entire adult life in Texas, GOP politics, and conservative activism, Ive 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.
