Boston Mayor blasted for sending list of her critics to police

Boston's Democrat and comrade Mayor Michelle Wu, whose most significant accomplishment was being born Asian American, is facing criticism from conservatives for her Orwellian/"Nixonian" tactics. Her administration has come clean and admitted to creating a list of her biggest critics and providing those names to local authorities.

"The list was made in response to a request from the Boston Police Department after the Mayor had been harassed and physically intimidated by individuals for several months outside her home, at city functions such as the annual neighborhood parks coffee hours, and at other public events," Wu spokesman Ricardo ["Little Ricky"] Patron said in a statement to the Boston Herald.

The acknowledgment by her staff that it had compiled the list came after it was uncovered in an email obtained through a public records request by Wu's opponents, the outlet noted. It is not clear if her opponent is also on the list, but it's very likely.

The tactics used by the administration,  raise concern over whether Wu and her administration are attempting to silence or intimidate her critics, many of whom have protested outside of her home, like the left did outside the homes of SCOTUS justices Clarence Thomas, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett. 

"The request (from police) came after many of the individuals on the list repeatedly impeded the Dorchester Day Parade to harass Mayor Wu and her family and staff, yelling through megaphones at her and her children for nearly ninety minutes as they marched in the parade despite being asked by parade organizers to leave the parade route," Little Ricky said, according to the Herald.

The Herald reported that Wu's actions drew comparisons from some critics to the late President Richard Nixon, who was famous for compiling lists of political opponents. It is also reminiscent of banana republics--the kind that doesn't sell clothing, and the lists the IRS and FBI have compiled against conservatives.

Wu aides Tiffany Chu and Brianna Millor were also cc'd on the email, which was sent after protests at the mayor's home in the Roslindale neighborhood of Boston last year, after which an ordinance was passed in Boston prohibiting protests outside of the Democrat mayor's home during certain hours, but not outside the homes of Republican officials as far as we know.

Wu was sworn in on November 2018. She is a staunch advocate of the socialist "Green New Deal" and as mayor signed an ordinance divesting companies in the city that derive more than 15% of their revenue from fossil fuels, tobacco products, or prison facilities [where, ironically, many in politics belong].
