SUGAR LAND, TX – Fort Bend County Republican Party Chairman Bobby Eberle issued the following statement in response to breaking news of a new search warrant in which Democrat County Judge KP George is accused of coordinating with indicted Democrat Commissioner Precinct 3 candidate Taral Patel on fake racist social media posts.

 “When Democrat KP George claimed in 2022 to be the victim of racist social media posts, something just didn’t feel right. Fast forward to this election cycle, and his former chief of staff and now Democrat candidate for Precinct 3 Commissioner, Taral Patel, claimed the exact same thing. Both blamed their Republican opponents and supporters.

 “Taral Patel has been indicted for his alleged online impersonation and sending fake racist messages to himself, and now it is alleged that Patel and George colluded to do the same thing in 2022 in KP George’s race. This behavior is deeply corrupt and shameful. These allegations amount to election interference by playing off the worst Democrat tactic: stoking racial division.

 “The Fort Bend County Democrat Party remains silent as allegations and indictments continue to pile up. Fort Bend County voters should reject the politics of racial division and election interference. These Democrats do not deserve to ever represent Fort Bend County, and it begs the question: In this current regime, how many more Democrats are involved? I encourage Attorney General Paxton and the Texas Rangers to step in and investigate the entire Fort Bend County Democrat Party and see where this all leads.”
