‘DEI’ to Blame for Baltimore Key Bridge Tragedy, According to Utah Republican
A Republican candidate for governor of Utah has linked diversity, equity, and inclusion to the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore.
The bridge collapsed early Tuesday after the cargo ship Dali drifted into a bridge support.
Among the reactions that looked past the immediate cause, state Rep. Phil Lyman appeared to indicate that the makeup of the commissioners for the Port of Baltimore was a factor in the incident.
Lyman is challenging Gov. Spencer Cox for the Republican nomination, according to KSL-TV.
“This is what happens when you have Governors who prioritize diversity over the wellbeing and security of citizens,” Lyman said in a post on X.
