Democratic Sen. Ed Markey of Massachusetts has come under attack for a post calling for specific populations to apply for internships.
“I’m hiring motivated and eager interns for the Spring 2027 semester in my Boston office,” Markey posted on X.
“BIPOC, LGBTQ+, working class, veterans, and other underrepresented candidates with Massachusetts ties are encouraged to apply,” he posted.
BIPOC stands for black, indigenous, and people of color.
Many criticized the post.
“Crazy that a United States Senator can openly violate civil rights law on Twitter,” Christopher Rufo wrote on X.
