Texas House Democratic Caucus Chair Gene Wu is facing backlash after a resurfaced clip from a podcast where he called for various racial groups to unite against their common “oppressor,” referring to concerns about White nationalism and racial anxiety among White Americans. Critics, including Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and Sen. Ted Cruz, labeled Wu a “radical racist” and called for his resignation. Wu later attempted to clarify his remarks, stating he was referring to Republicans, not White people. The controversy has sparked significant debate over racial unity and division within political discourse.
