Maga Charlie Kirk’s influencer claims that the number of floods in Texas “would not have been so high if it was not for Dei”
The right -wing podcaster and influencer Charlie Kirk said that the number of deaths of Texas floods “would not have been so high if it was not” diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives.
Kirk made the comments during his program on The real voice of AmericaBy saying: “Democrats are so despicable. Democrats do not lift a finger to remember more than 100 people who died in Texas Hill Country. ”
He added that what “you don’t say anywhere is that the number of deaths would probably not have been so high if it was not for Dei.”
“This Texas tragedy is only the last example,” continued Kirk. “It is not only incompetence. It is Dei who works to undermine the meritocratic institutions, and more people are probably dead than what would otherwise have because of Dei. ”
The Republicans have made an effort to blame several tragedies on the initiatives of the DEI, and the administration of President Donald Trump worked to eliminate such initiatives in the federal government. The administration ordered that federal employees working on DEI problems are placed on leave.
Trump himself tried to blame an accident halfway from Washington DC of January 29 between a plane and a helicopter, which resulted in the death of 67 people on Dei. The president tried to blame a “diversity push” at the Federal Aviation Administration for the incident.
Likewise, former Trump Ally Elon Musk said in January after California forest fires that “Dei means that people die”.
Kirk’s comments are intervening that the Ministry of Health and Social Services sent an email to employees a “denunciation questionnaire” requesting that they report cases of discrimination due to the previous directives of the DEI, an email obtained by Politico shows.

“I know that this tragedy, as horrible as it could have been much worse,” he added.
