If you didn’t see it, the Washington Examiner has a new report out on Nate Morris trying to delete his past support for DEI, ESG, and Black Lives Matter.
Deleted DEI posts mark latest culture war flashpoint in bitter Kentucky Senate GOP primary
July 15, 2025
A company formerly tied to candidate Nate Morris has recently scrubbed its website of posts dating back years by the former CEO on topics such as DEI, ESG, and Black Lives Matter that could be politically damaging to the Republican.
The since-deleted posts were from Morris’s time as CEO of Rubicon Technologies, a large waste and recycling software services company he founded in 2008 and severed ties with in 2023. The removal of these posts was not previously reported.
. . .
The first Rubicon post, from 2019, touted Morris’s promotion of diversity, equity, and inclusion by signing the CEO Action for Diversity & Inclusion pledge. The post, which now directs to an error page, stated its three main objectives were to “have complex discussions about diversity and inclusion, to implement and expand upon unconscious bias education, and to share best and unsuccessful diversity and inclusion practices.”
The second post, from June 2020, came in the wake of the killing of George Floyd and the subsequent Black Lives Matter racial justice protests, some of which turned violent. The post, which now directs to an error page, was a company-wide message from Morris announcing an all-hands meeting to discuss recent events and defending the protests that he said were “a manifestation of the pain and anger that so many are feeling.”
The third post, from the fall of 2020, was from Morris announcing a new member to its board of directors and detailing the company’s dedication to environmental, social, and corporate governance. The post, which now directs to an error page, said Morris was committed to “ensuring that Rubicon remained at the forefront of the ESG movement.”
