Disaster On the Potomac: What Role DEI Played in the Worst Sewage Spill in U.S. History
https://amgreatness.com ^ | February 18, 2026 | AG Staff

Posted on 02/19/2026 8:36:57 PM PST by Enterprise

More than 240 million gallons of raw sewage has spilled into the Potomac River since a pipe burst last month, and the lackluster response of the DC Water Board is raising questions about the competency of those in charge.

Dr. Unique Morris-Hughes was appointed as Chair of the DC Water Board by the Democratic Mayor of Washington D.C. Muriel Bowser, despite lacking expertise in wastewater management or engineering.

Though Morris-Hughes has an extensive background in administering federally-funded workforce programs, that experience has done little to mitigate the effects of what may be the largest sewage spill in U.S. history.

DIE. Crap in, crap out.

Or put another way, DIE screws things up, white people have to fix it and turn it back over to DIE slugs.

How is repairing a pipe so tough?

Didn’t the Romans know how to do that?

Likely just releasing the pressure from all the feces built up in that town.

I haven’t heard the details of how this happened. Maybe there’s some technical details that make repairs difficult?

And what about Dr. Unique? I wonder if she has any real world experience in running water and sewer systems? Which might be helpful since she’s the chair of that water board?

I recommend Mathh Walsh’s show today. He discusses these jokers at length

Yeah, but what’s a little pottie water when you can make some minorities feel good?

The DC sewage spill is the perfect metaphor for DEI

The death of competency is highly overrated

Thanks.I didn’t see that part of the article.

So Dr. UNIQUE has no relevant experience, which would have caused her to be appointed to her position. Clearly, she’s just some sort of political hack.

“...DC Water General Manager David Gadis has gone on the record...that utility “executives should reflect the city.””

Perhaps they do.

Almost every urban area has replaced white technicians and tradesmen with illiterate savages.
Think South Africa. Think Ebonics.

Jackson, Mississippi is one prime example.

Today Matt Walsh provides another example:

Under democrat control, there is none.

Ever.

Dr. Unique might not have waste water experience but she has personnel experience. I’m sure she selected the proper people to fill each role in the organization. They may not know what they are supposed to do but they reflect the community. That is what is important. May her next job be in selecting people for Air Traffic Control. There is a noticeable lack of diversity in that field.

"Doctor" Unique has the honor of graduating from Eastern Shore college, ranked about 400 nationally.
