NextImg:Boston mayor under fire for secret no whites Christmas party

Boston Mayor Michelle Wu apparently is not dreaming of a white Christmas party.

An aide to the mayor mistakenly sent out an invite for Wu’s “Electeds of Color Holiday Party” to all members of the Boston City Council.

Some 15 minutes later, that aide, Denise DosSantos, who serves as the mayor’s director of City Council relations blasted up a follow-up email flagging the error.

“I wanted to apologize for my previous email regarding a Holiday Party for tomorrow,” DosSantos wrote in the follow-up.

The white councilors weren’t supposed to be invited.

“I did send that to everyone by accident, and I apologize if my email may have offended or came across as so. Sorry for any confusion this may have caused.”

Boston’s City Council is comprised of six minority and seven white members.

Revelation of the secret segregated holiday party drew some backlash and sent social media aflutter.

City Councilor Frank Baker, a white Democrat bashed the move as “unfortunate and divisive,” but stressed it didn’t affect him personally.

“I don’t really get offended too easily,” Baker told the Boston Herald. “To offend me, you’re going to have to do much more than not invite me to a party.”

“I find it unfortunate that with the temperature the way it is, that we would further that division,” Baker said.

Others fended off criticism of the shindig.

Councilor Brian Worrell, a black Democrat who is seemingly poised to become the vice president of the Council next term, argued there wasn’t anything out of the ordinary about the party.

“We make space and spaces for all kinds of specific groups in the city and city government,” Worrell told the Boston Herald.

“This is no different, and the Elected Officials of Color has been around for more than a decade.”

Conservative social media was less than enthused by news of the racially segregated holiday party.

“Mayor Wu is NOT dreaming of a white Christmas. And she will NOT be serving white wine tonight. Or white-meat chicken. No palefaces invited to Parkman House powwow!” New England radio host Howie Carr joked on X.

“So in Boston, you can’t attend the mayor’s holiday party if you are white. How much longer are Americans going to tolerate this left-wing racist crap?” conservative X user Rod Dreher wrote.

“Ladies and Gentlemen (And those who are confused) Right in time for the holiday season – Introducing a new “ebonic” term – (don’t make fun – it’s cultural) ‘ Electeds of Color,'” radio host Bo Snerdley said.

Earlier this year, Wu became engulfed in controversy for a so-called “enemies” list.

The Post contacted Wu’s office for comment.

She became the first female of color and Asian American elected to serve as mayor of The Hub back in 2021.
