Utah state Rep. Phil Lyman blamed diversity, equity and inclusion for the catastrophic collapse of the Francis Scott Key bridge in Baltimore.

Officials say a cargo ship caused the collapse when it struck a bridge support in the Patapsco River.

Driving the news: Lyman (R-Blanding) drew criticism Tuesday when he shared a post on X from the "Young Conservative Federation," noting that Baltimore Port Commissioner Karenthia Barber has a background in "diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging."

"This is what happens when you have governors who prioritize diversity over the wellbeing and security of citizens," wrote Lyman, who is running for Utah governor.
Between the lines: He later told the Salt Lake Tribune his social media team created the post, but he neither retracted nor disputed it or his other posts Tuesday that characterized DEI as deadly.
The big picture: The bridge collapse is just the latest in a string of problems right wing activists have blamed on "DEI" programs.

The other side: "Calling any and all failures of governments, institutions, engineering, or businesses the sole fault of 'DEI initiatives' ... has become coded for 'they put black people in charge instead of white people,'" posted Wall Street trader and podcaster Ben Cahn.

Funny like we have a number of white guys crash plans over the last few months none of them blamed the Good ol' boy system for that. Also how could a port commissioner stop this.

The port commissioner caused a power failure on a cargo ship?

These motherfuckers will get pickles when they asked for no pickles and blame it on the black manager they saw.

  • Almost every bridge in all history that ever collapsed built by hetero white cismen.
  • One bridge collapsed after being rammed by a white European man in a tanker but in a state with a black governor
  • "DEI did this"
