Let’s be clear about what actually happened in Kerr County.

Charlie Kirk is blaming Chief Baker — a Black fire chief — for the tragic deaths in the Texas floods and calling him a "DEI hire." That’s not just dishonest, it's disgraceful.

The truth? NPR reported just two days ago that the decision to reject the county-wide siren warning system happened before Chief Baker was even hired. That decision was made under former Commissioner Tom Moser, who admitted the county turned down the system due to funding concerns and public resistance. Read it yourself:

So let's stop pretending this is about DEI.
This was a systemic failure before Chief Baker ever took the position.

If we're going to demand accountability, let’s start with the facts — not race-baiting distractions.
