You know, after what happened to Bud Light, and after Donald Trump's
resounding election victory in November, one would think woketivists in
corporate America would want to dial it down a bit if for no other reason
than to spare their colleagues the humiliation that comes from the
pushback that inevitably ensues.
 
While some clearly have gotten the message, others have not, which brings
us to the latest example, which comes from an executive at Ford Motor
Company.
 
A man named Barrett Evans, who reportedly is the "Chief Learning Officer"
at Ford, recently detailed an alleged exchange with a man who he says
watched Fox News "for the entire ride" on their flight from San Diego to
their next destination. 
 
Apparently triggered by the passenger's choice of news sources, Evans
claimed on his Threads social media page (which is no longer accessible
for some reason) that he confronted the elderly man after getting off the
plane once he spotted the man and his wife both utilizing airport
wheelchairs and being assisted to the next gate.
 
What followed next was one of the most unhinged rants I have ever read:
 
"Deplaning and I notice he and his wife getting into their airport
wheelchairs to be pushed to next gate. My filter was malfunctioning…"
 
"Love to see you supporting DEI."
 
"Not me!"
 
"Yes - you. That wheelchair, and the human pushing it, are provided at no
direct cost to you - rather by a subsidized cost attributed to every
passenger in this airport. Provided to level the playing field - for you."
 
In a second post, Evans explained his rationale for aggressively harassing
the couple and for alleging the man and his wife were hypocritical
beneficiaries of DEI:
 
"Not all passengers need assistance. But for those who do - for whatever
reason - the service ensures they can access the airport, navigate
security, and board their plane safely and with dignity.
 
The cost being shared ensures that the service is available to those who
need it, not just those who could afford to pay extra.
 
This is a real-world infrastructure of equity in action: acknowledging
that different people have different needs, and creating systems to
support those differences fairly."
 
Here are screen grabs of the rant and a photo of Evans (on the left) and
an unidentified man at a Pride event:
 
A woke @Ford executive posted a ‘not so chivalrous’ rant on Threads,
detailing how he confronted an elderly plane passenger in a wheelchair,
for watching Fox News on a flight. He mocked the man for ‘supporting DEI’.
Barrett Evans, who works as the motor company's ‘Chief Learning Officer’,
posted about the incident on his Threads profile 'chivalryandchampagne'.
That’s Barrett on the left, from his IG account, ‘chivalryandchampagne’.

Evans got lit up on Twitter/X in response. Just one of many examples:
 
Matt Forney @realmattforney
 
"I don't know what a 'Chief Learning Officer' is and neither do you, so I
looked it up. So far as I can tell, they design cultural sensitivity
seminars that waste everyone's time. In other words, this fruit has a
make-work DEI job that only exists to make him employable."
 
As of this writing, it appears Evans has all his social media accounts on
lockdown, including Threads and Instagram. His LinkedIn appears to have
either been deleted or hidden.
 
Now, some folks are going to wonder if this actually happened as he
claimed it did. With social media keyboard warriors being notorious for
embellishing things, that's an understandable reaction. But whether it
happened or not, that Evans thought it made him look good to virtue signal
and thump his chest about the supposed incident is a horrible look, not
just for him but for Ford.
 
I've already seen people on Twitter/X tagging the Ford account and
inquiring about Evans, so there is a strong likelihood that they already
know about it and are getting their PR response together as we speak.
 
While it remains to be seen how they respond, if Ford's campaign to show
support for all things good and America is a reliable indicator, Evans may
find himself holding a pink slip sooner rather than later:
 
We'll keep you posted on the latest developments.

No one here mentioned the obvious: how the hell does this guy presume to know
the elderly man's position on DEI merely because he watched Fox News during
the flight?
