BREAKING: Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott hits back hard after racist Republicans absurdly blame him for the ship collision that collapsed the Francis Scott Key Bridge, calling him "DEI mayor" because he's Black.
This is the PERFECT response...
"I know, and we know, and you know very well that Black men, and young Black men in particular, have been the bogeyman for those who are racist and think that only straight, wealthy White men should have a say in anything," said Mayor Scott during an appearance on MSNBC.
It's worth noting that it wasn't just rank and file Republicans who launched racist smears at Scott. Utah State Representative Phil Lyman as well as congressional candidate Anthony Sabatini joined in.
DEI, which stands for "Diversity, equity, and inclusion," has quickly become an obsession in right-wing circles, as they attempt to blame every problem on diversity. They use the term in place of a racial slur to articulate their bigotry without fully committing to it.
"We’ve been the bogeyman for them since the first day they brought us to this country, and what they mean by DEI in my opinion is duly elected incumbent," Mayor Scott said.
"We know what they want to say, but they don’t have the courage to say the N-word, and the fact that I don’t believe in their untruthful and wrong ideology,” he went on.
"And I am very proud of my heritage and who I am and where I come from scares them, because me being at my position means that their way of thinking, their way of life of being comfortable while everyone else suffers is going to be at risk, and they should be afraid because that’s my purpose in life," he added.
He stated that "everybody is working together" on the rebuild efforts.
"We’re ignoring all the conspiracy theorists, everyone who’s playing bridge engineer at home who’s never even taken a class on engineering and understanding that what this is about is showing the world once and again that Baltimore can’t be broken, our spirit is strong, and we will rebuild together and honor those who we lost," he said.
Well said!

@ninaturner And that's why Biden is the FIRST PRESIDENT IN US HISTORY TO STAND UP TO ISRAEL AND DEMAND THEY CHANGE!!! He's doing the best he can... we need to give him support and encourage him in his efforts to sanction Isreal. he's sanctioning the SHXT outta them for what they're doing.
@laurenboebert Well... if you and MAGA hadn't stopped the border bill he and the bipartisan senate presented, maybe the reason would be that they won't be allowed to stay for UP TO 6 YEARS while waiting for trial anymore... that might have helped just a tiny bit...

@Scottreagan1963@RpsAgainstTrump No.. it was a fastrack to get immigrants before a judge to determine their legally in America. It would have expedited the judicial process and instated stiffer penalties for breaking the law... do some actual reading before you come on here spreading your stupidity please.
@Jim_Jordan Mr Jordon, perhaps you need to remove your head from your ass and notice all the laws he's broken. I don't understand how Americans can possibly want a criminal in chief...
@TomiLahren Where's your data showing the measles is coming from undocumented immigrants? I mean I'm sure SOME diseases are going to get in, but that happened during COVID just from allowing AMERICANS TO FLY OVERSEAS IN AIRPLANES so.... no border issues on THIS TOPIC...
@libsoftiktok Bidens border policy was VETOED BY YOUR MAGA CONTROLLED RETHUGLICAN PARTY! It added 1500 MORE AGENTS, MORE JUDGES TO PROCESS CASES FASTER AND BETTER SECURITY TECH AT BORDER CROSSINGS!! STOP TELLING LIES AND FACT CHECK YOUR STUPIDITY!!! You have the chance to be great, USE IT!
@RpsAgainstTrump Unfortunately our republican controlled congress is a perfect example of what will happen if we vote republican... no matter who the CANDIDATE is, IT'S THE PARTY THAT IN CONTROL!!!
AND RIGHT NOW THEY'RE TOO STEEPED IN MAGA TO GOVERNEFFECTIVELY!!!
#VoteBlueToStopTheStupid
@RepMTG You have FINALLY said something worthwhile... yes, vaccines NEED TO BE REQUIRED FOR ALL CHILDREN TO ATTEND SCHOOL!!! My daughter teaches, she tells of parents who send their kids to school with poop in their pants... let's start holding parents accountable for good health!
@RepMTG So you want the UNITED STATES CONGRESS to stop one FOREIGN COUNTRY from having relations with another FOREIGN COUNTRY???
WAIT...
WHAAAAAAAT??
we're not the world's police force, it would be an act of war to infringe on the sovereignty of another nation... 🤯
@libsoftiktok I hope this childs face haunts you for the rest of you're extremist life and I hope you get charged with a hate crime as a domestic terrorist for your part in this tragedy.

Isn't this the same rhetoric that he's on trial for using to start the J6 Insurrection? Not to mention being a bold faced threat to the Justices...
Pay attention to the red letters....
