GOP Lawmaker Blames ‘Diversity’ for Bridge Collapse

Utah lawmaker Phil Lyman (R), who is running for governor, quickly used Baltimore’s Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse to boost his gubernatorial campaign by blaming the accident on efforts to make workplaces more diverse, the Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Said Lyman: “This is what happens when you have Governors who prioritize diversity over the wellbeing [sic] and security of citizens.”

In a subsequent post, Lyman added: “DEI=DIE.”
