Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott (D) is firing back at users on X who claimed he entered the office through some kind of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) program.

During an appearance on MSNBC, “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.”

“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,” he continued.

Scott went on:

“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. 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.”

His comment comes after a post was made by a clip of Scott speaking about the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse was circulating.

On Tuesday, a user with the name iamyesyouareno shared a video of the mayor speaking.

“This is Baltimore’s DEI mayor commenting on the collapsed Francis Scott Key Bridge,” the user wrote.

They added, “It’s going to get so, so much worse. Prepare accordingly.”
