Protesters Demand Resignation of Fort Bend County Judge

Protestors gathered outside the Fort Bend County courthouse demanding the resignation of County Judge KP George, who faces criminal charges for allegedly creating fake social media accounts to post racist messages aimed at influencing elections. Protesters, organized by the Fort Bend County Republican Party, accused George of deceit and corruption, calling for accountability and the resignation of his former chief of staff, Taral Patel, who is also implicated in the scandal. Despite the mounting pressure, George has refused to resign, insisting he will be cleared of the charges and has filed a motion to dismiss the case. The legal situation is further complicated by the ongoing investigation and allegations of a broader culture of corruption within the county. Community members expressed their frustration, claiming that the scandal has made Fort Bend County a laughingstock. As tensions rise, the future of George's position remains uncertain amidst calls for transparency and justice.
