Governor Wes Moore (D-MD) opted not to address\u2064 unfounded allegations\u2064 connecting diversity initiatives to the Baltimore bridge collapse.

When asked what his response was to Republicans who have claimed the bridge collapse was based on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/DEI\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>DEI<\/a>, he said, \u201cMy response is I have no time for foolishness.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have no time for foolishness. I\u2019m locked in,\u201d Moore said. <\/p>\n<p>He listed his priorities for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/Maryland\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Maryland<\/a> as governor following the Key Bridge collapse. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m making sure that we can get closure and comfort for these families. I\u2019m making sure that we\u2019re going to keep our first responders safe, who are doing heroic work,\u201d Moore said. \u201cI\u2019m making sure that we are going to open up this channel and be able to get boats and ships and get our economic engine going again. I\u2019m making sure that we\u2019re taking care of our people, to include our first responders and families and small businesses who have been impacted by this. I\u2019m making sure that we are going to get the Key Bridge rebuilt.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have no time for foolishness, so I\u2019m not going to delve into it,\u201d Moore continued. <\/p>\n<p>When asked to comment on Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott\u2019s defense of the DEI claims, Moore again said he does not have time to engage in \u201cfoolishness.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI frankly do not have time to be able to be dealing with anything else.
