Washington D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser’s VERY strange first response to the horrifying Baltimore bridge collapse: ‘Oh no’
Social media users were unimpressed by Washington DC Mayor Muriel Bowser’s initial response to video of the bridge collapse in Baltimore on Tuesday morning.
Bowser posted an unusual “Oh no” to X, in response to a post on bridge: 27 hours
In a now-deleted post, Bowser responded to the horrific collapse in the neighboring city of Baltimore, Maryland, around 7 a.m. on her personal account on X, formerly Twitter.
Asked to expand on the post, Bowser’s office referred DailyMail.com to a post the mayor made on her official X account two hours after her initial response.
“Our prayers are with our neighbors in Baltimore and everyone affected by the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge,” Bowser wrote on X around 9 a.m.
She added, “This morning I reached out to Mayor Scott (Baltimore), and we stand ready to support Baltimore in these difficult days ahead.”
