Democratic Washington, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser has found herself in hot water over her lackluster response to the recent Baltimore bridge collapse. The Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore fell victim to a container ship collision, causing chaos and destruction. Bowser’s initial reaction? A measly “Oh no” posted on social media. How presidential of her.

Social media users were quick to pounce on Bowser’s feeble attempt at empathy, criticizing her for the inadequacy of her response. One user even called her out, exclaiming how absurd it was for the mayor to react with such indifference to a major catastrophe. It seems like Bowser needs to brush up on her crisis management skills – a two-word response just doesn’t cut it when a bridge comes tumbling down.
But fear not, folks, Bowser eventually pulled herself together and mustered up a more appropriate message hours later. Offering her condolences and prayers to Baltimore, she tried to salvage the situation by reaching out to Mayor Scott and promising support. Better late than never, right? However, it’s clear that Bowser’s initial blunder left a bad taste in everyone’s mouths.
This isn’t the first time Mayor Bowser has stumbled into a pit of disapproval. Remember that time she fumbled through details about the city’s public transit system? Yeah, not exactly a shining moment for someone tasked with leading a major metropolitan area. Perhaps it’s time for Bowser to rethink her approach to handling crises and public relations – because “oh no” just doesn’t quite cut it when a bridge is collapsing.
