Utah Rep. Phil Lyman, who is also a Republican candidate for governor, is exploiting Baltimore’s Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse to boost his gubernatorial campaign by blaming the accident on efforts to make workplaces more diverse.
Lyman, who is also running for Utah governor, later said his social media team had posted the comment without his approval. He also took responsibility for the post.
Lyman was responding to a post from the Young Conservative Federation attacking Port of Baltimore Commissioner Karenthia Barber, a Black woman who, according to her professional biography, owns a consulting firm that includes “ “It was not our best moment,” Lyman said. “The post was a knee-jerk reaction to some of the things others were putting out there.”
Lyman took full responsibility for the posts and did not feel he needed to apologize for politicizing the tragedy. He does not plan to remove them.“We are still very much in an active search and rescue posture at this point, and we will continue to be for some time. We have a large area that we have to search,” said Baltimore Fire Chief James Wallace according to The Baltimore Banner.
