“This is Baltimore’s DEI mayor commenting on the collapsed Francis Scott Key Bridge,” the user wrote alongside a clip of Scott speaking. “It’s going to get so, so much worse. Prepare accordingly.”

The post was immediately fact checked and even came with an advisory.

“Brandon Scott was elected as Mayor of Baltimore in 2020 with > 70% of the vote,” the advisory reads. “He did not come in to office through any DEI practices, appointments, etc.” This isn’t the first instance of a racist swapping out the N-word with “DEI”—but it certainly is one of the most brazen.

    You don’t understand, it doesn’t matter if it’s 100% black community, the only qualified people to run anything are white cis men and everyone knows that. Strangely enough even black people understand that even with their learning disabilities and all. Just look at the kings of Europe, see any black people there? Checkmate wokeyMcwokewoke!

    -Some racist moron probably.
