“Vance Ginn, the chief economist for the Texas Public Policy Foundation, is facing fierce backlash for a recent racist tweet that said schools should open since most of the people dying from the coronavirus in Texas are elderly or Hispanic” reports the Texas Tribune.
“‘Why not #openschools, end universal mandates, target vulnerable & check those from #Mexico?’ Ginn wrote in a since-deleted tweet. He juxtaposed his tweet with a GIF of Prince Harry of Wales miming a mic drop.”
The Texas Public Policy Foundation is described as having “deep ties to the Koch Brothers” and “very active in the American Legislative Exchange Council” on SourceWatch.
