US EditionTexas GOP Candidate Proposes Revoking Rep. Gene Wu’s Citizenship
Aaron Reitz called for the revocation of Rep. Gene Wu's U.S. citizenship based on a viral clip alleging disloyalty amid GOP primary battles in Texas.
- On Monday, Aaron Reitz, GOP candidate for Texas attorney general, urged revoking Rep. Gene Wu’s citizenship and posted `As AG, I want to see @GeneforTexas de-naturalized`.
- The clipped 2024 Jose Antonio Vargas interview was captioned to suggest Wu said non‑whites could 'take over this country,' amplified by pro‑Trump accounts, while critics said it misrepresented his full remarks.
- Wu explained in the full interview that he said all residents in his district are Americans, regardless of legal status, and clarified he meant Republicans, not white people, when discussing oppressors.
- By Monday, numerous Texas Republicans, including critics and supporters, denounced Wu and urged resignation or removal, while Reitz offered to pursue denaturalization.
- Reitz is competing in the March 3 primary as the national trend around denaturalizations, which President Trump has emphasized, gains momentum after last year’s USCIS guidance.
