GOP blame the Democrats for the bridge collapse

Not long after the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore collapsed when a barge went into it….
When Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg visited the bridge collapse area Rep. Jeff Van Drew [R-N.J.] suggested without evidence that the visit was politically motivated and that Buttigieg was preoccupied with diversity policies.
Utah state Rep. Phil Lyman [R] shared another account’s post online that attacked Port of Baltimore Commissioner Karenthia Barber, a Black woman whose biography says she owns a consulting practice that takes on work related to DEI [diversity, equity, and inclusion] saying “this is what happens when you have Governors who prioritize diversity over the well-being and security of citizens.” Hung Cao, a Republican candidate in Virginia, said similar comments.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene [R-Ga.], a far-right member of Congress who has promoted baseless and debunked claims, took to Twitter to question whether the collision was “an intentional [terrorism] attack.”
Sen. Rick Scott [R-Fla.] attempted to connect the incident to broader questions about “the potential for wrongdoing or the potential for foul play given the wide-open border.”
Matt Schlapp, chairman of the American Conservative Union blamed it on the coronavirus lockdown.
I am surprised a Republican didn’t outright blame the Democrats for the bridge collapse citing bad construction – even though the bridge was built in the 1970s – even though president Nixon was president when they first started to build the bridge.
How can any sane person believe any of this crap? Their stupidity is so obvious, yet close to 40% of Americans fall for their BS! Who is putting what in the water?
I guess maybe moonshine in certain areas….
Must be additive.
