Fort Bend County Judge KP George May Have Tried Factory Resetting Cell Phone in Front of Texas Rangers. Michael Wynne speaks with ABC13 Houston
Years before Fort Bend County Judge KP George was accused of faking racist posts to aid his re-election bid, he posted other racist comments he claimed were made about him.
George posted a collage of xenophobic comments in 2020, two years after the Democrat was first elected.
One read, “How did Fort Bend County let a foreigner… An America hater become so powerful?” The comment ended with the phrase, “Remember the Alamo!”
Another read, “Go back to wherever you came from.”
In an interview with Eyewitness News ABC13 that year, George said he was happy that his post about the comments received attention.
“It got a lot of attention, it should, because we need to denounce this,” he said.
He referred to the comments as “convincing,” and without being asked, repeatedly emphasized that the comments were made by other people.
“I decided to call them out,” George said. “I’m using their own posts because it’s not, like, what I said. No, this is their own posts. So, I don’t think it can be more convincing than that.”
In September of 2024, days before being publicly implicated in the growing scandal involving allegedly posting fake racist posts to his social media to bolster his campaign for re-election, Texas Rangers attempted to confiscate George’s phone while in his home executing a warrant. The agents asked George to put down the phone, which he did but then picked it back up and began manipulating it. Rangers later learned George had entered an incorrect password into his phone fifteen times. Twenty attempts would have wiped the phone clean.
ABC13 spoke with Michael Wynne about the current building case against Judge KP George.
“The coverup is worse than the crime…. Rarely is it this blatant or this stupid.”
When asked by the reporter if George could simply claim he had not destroyed the evidence, Attorney Wynne responded, “Well look, he is still clearly trying to do it and in front of the agents. It should be a slam dunk.”
While George is not facing tampering charges yet, Wynne says he wouldn’t be surprised if they are added.
“I don’t know if it’s become a Grand Jury investigation yet. Likely so. So, you’ve just handed them a felony.”
