No, Republicans did not ban French Fries. Bob Ney, an individual who was a Republican changed the name to Freedom Fries. On his own. There was not vote on it. It was not law. Ney was in charge of the 3 congressional cafeterias and changed the name of French toast, to freedom toast, too. The move was purely symbolic and didn’t hold (or have) any legal standing. Quit making shit up.
