🚨 Gene Wu must be stripped of his House leadership positions and committee assignments. This radical Democrat should never have been given powerful leadership positions or assignments in the Texas House, and they must be removed. Full letter to Speaker Burrows: Speaker Burrows, A shocking video has recently surfaced of Representative Gene Wu, Chairman of the House Democratic Caucus, in which he expressed facially racist and discriminatory views, including labeling white people as “oppressors,” and which can also be reasonably understood as potentially advocating for violence against people based on their skin color. Rep. Wu was appointed to more committees than many House Republicans were appointed to (four committees and two subcommittees), and he was appointed Vice Chairman of the powerful Committee on Criminal Jurisprudence, which has broad jurisdiction over virtually all criminal law in Texas. With this Vice Chairmanship, he has significant power to shape upcoming interim hearings for the committee, and he receives additional taxpayer funds to spend at his discretion. While these appointments were inappropriate at the time, they are untenable now. Conservative leaders across America have, rightfully, condemned Rep. Wu’s inflammatory statements. As Speaker, you are, uniquely, in a position to take action. Please consider this letter to be my formal request that Rep. Wu be stripped of his committee assignments and his Vice Chairmanship. If you believe it is not within your power under the House Rules to do this, then I ask you stand up select committees with the same jurisdiction and membership as the committees he currently serves on (but without Rep. Wu) where you will send any and all interim charges and official responsibilities for the remainder of the 89th session. For liberty,­ Brian Harrison
