Baltimore bridge collapse: Victims remembered for building 'bridges to unify, not walls to divide' - The ReidOut - MSNBC



Before the Baltimore bridge collapse, a total of eight people were working a grueling overnight shift repairing potholes. Incredibly, two of the eight workers survived. The six who died were fathers, husbands, brothers and cousins. Gustavo Torres, the executive director of CASA, an advocacy organization for immigrants and working-class people in Maryland, joins Joy Reid. - Aired on 03/28/2024.

and the "biden flew these ms-13 gangsters in to baltimore as drug mules for hunter's personal stash" truth is not far behind

after the collapse of the hard rock hotel in new orleans they blamed the victims. all "illegals" of course. 3 or 4 dead. had nothing to do with that sharp contractor or shady developer that uses substandard materials and unqualified "illegal" labor.

And they seem to be the result of blatant prejudice and these hateful lies are spread by Fox "News" which the deluded listen to and believe. Do none of them come from immigrants?? If not for immigrants making the journey to this country in search of a better life, none of us would be here.

I just caught a hateful Fox "News" clip shown by MSNBC bashing Secretary Pete who stepped up to the plate immediately after the Baltimore bridge collapse. Big surprise, they're prejudiced against him, too.

but, to be fair, that is about where their sense of humor stopped maturing.
