Baltimore mayor slams people saying DEI caused bridge collapse

Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott scoffed at the nickname “DEI Mayor” given to him by critics amid the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse.

One post on X referred to Scott by the nickname under a clip of the mayor giving a news conference following the collapse. While the platform gave the post a “Community Note” correcting the narrative and asserting that Scott won the office with over 70% of the vote, the post garnered over 25 million views.
