‘DEI=DIE’, Utah lawmaker blames 'diversity' for Baltimore bridge collapse

Hindustan Times  

Utah state representative, Phil Lyman, sparked controversy by suggesting that diversity initiatives led to the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse in Baltimore, where six people are presumed dead. TOPSHOT - The US Coast Guard Cutter Frank Drew patrols near the collapsed Francis Scott Key Bridge after it was struck by the container ship Dali in Baltimore, Maryland, on March 27, 2024. White added, "By linking Port of Baltimore Commissioner Karenthia Barber’s background to the accident solely because of her involvement with DEI efforts, conservatives like Lyman reveal their bias, ignorance, and willingness to say anything for votes." As of Wednesday afternoon, the controversial posts, including one that labeled DEI as "poison" and another retweet stating “DEI = Didn’t Earn It,” were still visible on Lyman’s account.
