WATCH: Dem mayor JUSTIFIES her ‘no whites allowed’ party
December 19, 2023
Michelle Wu, mayor of Boston, clearly didn’t consider the optics of hosting an “electeds of color’ party – a race-restricted event that excluded … you guessed it ... white people.
To make matters worse, the staffer who sent the email invitation accidentally sent it to everyone on the council, including the Caucasian members.
Understandably, people are furious. Wu is facing heavy criticism from conservatives and liberals alike, and yet somehow, she’s decided to defend her actions.
Dave Rubin plays the clip of her response to the incident.
“Given some of the strife that exists though in this council, are you concerned this lends itself at all to further divisiveness?” a reporter asked.
“No, I mean, again, this is a group that has been in place for many, many years. We want to be a city where everyone's identity is embraced and that there are spaces and communities that we can help support,” Wu ignorantly responded.
“Oh, there are spaces and communities that we can help support, so we can look at a bunch of people by their skin color and say, ‘Don't eat with us; don't come to this dinner party,”’ mocks Dave. “That's what we used to call racism.”
“If a bunch of white people wanted to have dinner with no colored people, as you call them, you'd call them racist, so it's racist whichever way it goes,” he explains.
But Wu clearly doesn’t share Dave’s sentiment.
“It was truly just an honest mistake that went out in typing the email field, and I look forward to celebrating with everyone at the holiday parties that we will have besides this one. … It is my intention that we can, again, be a city that lives our values and creates space for all kinds of communities to come together,” Wu said.
“Lady, you’re racist,” Dave says.
