Boston's Democrat Mayor Michelle Wu is drawing comparisons to disgraced former President Richard Nixon for compiling a list of her most vocal critics and sending it to the police.
Wu, the first woman and first person of color elected mayor of Beantown, admitted the list had been put together, but cited safety reasons and a request from Boston police, through a spokesperson.
'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,' Ricardo Patron said in a statement.

OK, so let me get this straight...
If you're Asian and elected to office, you're a "person of color," but if you apply to college across the river, you're "white."
Got it.
Mao Tse Wu.
It wasn’t Nixon who invented using police against political opponents. I can think of a German, a Russian, and a Chinese who are the 20th century standouts. All leftists.
The only times I set foot in Boston are for health care or the airport.
No need to make the President Nixon comparison—Boston has a rich history of corrupt democRAT mayors that used the office as a bludgeon against their enemies—like democRAT stalwart James Curley.
Sounds more like Joe Biden, not Nixon.
“Person of color” now means “anything but one of those hated Whiteys.”
The time to stop ALL such artificial labels is now.
Whelped in Chicago but grew up spreading Chinese as her first language, Harvard, female 38,… so naturally she’s an authoritarian. A snot nosed 16 year old on 9/11. Let’s make her mayor of Boston!
I admit I’m not an expert on US history but that’s a new one. Richard Nixon made hit lists of enemies and sent them to Police? 🤔
Is this claim from one of those Brit rags that classify anyone not a leftist as “far right” or “ultra right” or “right winger”.
Hit list of political opponents. Sounds more like a Red Chinese thing not a Nixon thing.
BTW: Why are the far-lefties and their “news media” going after Nixon again all of a sudden? Using “Adolf Hitler” doesn’t work anymore? They’ve beat that horse to death?
“It’s not fascism when we do it!”
Umm, perhaps this is a bit too much of reading between the lines. But, if an office holder can ID people who come to their residence and make threats — why not ID them to coppers? That is a crime in most localities.
Yeah, yeah, I’ve no sympathy for a blue city politico. But, if you cannot harass without remaining anon, you need to up your game.
Twasnt Nixon’s list to begin with.
Twas john fking Dean’s list that Nixon’s haters said was his
I’m shocked she had to compile it and the police weren’t doing it for her. Like the FBI does for Joe Biden.
